what do you think of these wheels?

so the mod bug is starting to hit.. and I am in the market for some style 87 20" staggered wheels, I have found a couple options, but if you guys have any other ideas of where to get them, or other ideas, i am open! I eventually also want to add the oem aluminum running boards, my x is a black 3.0i.

these are the two that I have found:

http://www.finishlinewheels.com/spec...%C0+20x10%C55/

and

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/20-St...1358QQtcZphoto

any thoughts would be appreciated!

the 87's and running board will make your 3.0i look hawt.
that just about the place to buy those wheels now days.
and i hear that WAC wheels the finish is not so great. never bouth any thing from WAC yet but a member here onboard had said that on his wheels.

goodluck with the hunt.

the other thing that I was wondering is what are the performance/true differences between the OEM 87s and the replicas I am seeing other than the price? I am new to the wheel game and was wondering what the difference is in quality/etc.

my .02 cents! Finishline Wheels was terrible in their e-mail responses to me. This was a month ago, boycott them for me.

I found a local seller on Craigs List for OEM's. Be patient and you may find OEM wheels.

good luck
