Default Dependable replicas

I've been against buying replica wheels due to safety concerns but I'm beginning to change my mind, esp since the Cherokee SRT8 OEM wheels won't fit on our D's. Therefore, I'm looking for a reputable replica manufacturer. Please give me your referrals.

Factory Reproductions, they made the SRT8 reps and the viper reps that fit our trucks. Dennis at DD mods sells them or you can buy direct from them. FR have been amazing to deal with their customer service is top shelf.

Factory Reproductions hands down. Great product and customer service. Met them at SEMA last year and could of spent the whole day talking with them.

Same as above for me too, also noticed a nick on my rims a few weeks ago and called FR to get some touch up paint, they not only sent it to me in 2 days, but never charged me a dime, great customer service.

Default Like OE-Enkei any good?

I'm getting close to buying wheels......OE has some black chrome 5 spoke Jeep wheels that are pretty cool and Enkei has a machine face black wheel that I really like. Are they well made? They sure are a bit pricey compared to wheels I've seen on your DD's.

My OE's have a real good chrome finish, The machining is flawless and each wheel took the same exact weight & location on all 4 wheels.

Which OEM rims do you currently have that make you want to swap?

I personally am not willing to give up my R/T factory 20's for replicas. Outside of looks, it's basically downgrading in the quality and performance. Been there and done that.

Now if you upgrade to a nice forged set, then that's another story. lol
