On a serious note though, good reps are generally fine on a street car. It makes no sense to run a $5000 set of rims on a honda civic.

This a good read for anyone doubting that.

Close enough to be considered a replica from what wheel companies have been doing lately, like XXR's version of the CCW Classic with no bolts, etc.

Wheels aren't something you buy ever year, authentic gets my vote. Although I've purchased reps in the past to throw on vehicles I was trying to sell.

Those arent the only styles that CCW has that resemble other wheels that were also made before CCW.

Another point being the CCW's cost less than 2k and the Rotiform's are closer to 5k.
