PLEASE HELP THIS IS KIND OF A DRAWN OUT DESCRIPTION OF MY SITUATION.
OK so i have a 2000 Integra gsr i have a set of drag rims on it with a new set of dunlop's. I wanted new rims so i was looking into getting a set of OEM GSR blades. These are very hard to come across where i live Ive already checked Craigslist and local forums and no sign of a set so i was thinking about getting replicas from an ebay seller named tobacco road auto. But i would really prefer oem over replicas but after reading some reviews of the replicas i found that they are just as strong as the oem ones and even have more of a shine to them because they are new. So if the replica is just as strong and better looking and they are exactly the same in every other way. Then i thought the only real difference is that you are paying for the name of Acura over the replica company Right?
So i need opinions on this should I...
1.) Try and find oem and save the $451.00 that would be spent on the new replicas
2.) Buy the replicas and not care that they aren't from Acura because they are pretty much the same
3.) Or buy the next choice a set of rota slipstreams( also replicas i know ) which would be like $550.00
thank you.
