Thanks for reminding me about that! You are 100% correct!

Not a bad deal at all..........even if I do say so myself!!

Re: Redfire 04 Cobra........which wheels?

Wheel replicas makes nice wheels. They're the ONLY aftermarket copies I would ever consider.

Re: Redfire 04 Cobra........which wheels?

So it could be said that the quality of the Wheel Replica's is better than that of say the AFS wheels?

Have heard some rather not so good things about the quality of AFS, ie, chrome peeling away, dents, scratches, etc., and this is upon observation when removing them "as new" from the box....But, they go on to say, "still cant beat them, for the price"

Are both Wheel Replica and AFS made in China?

Re: Redfire 04 Cobra........which wheels?

Wheel replicas are made overseas, yes. At least my 93 Cobra repros are. Unsure about their other wheels, though....

Re: Redfire 04 Cobra........which wheels?

I'm not crazy about AFS wheels. The finish on the chrome wheels looks sort of cheesy.
