The 18's are £400 cheaper than the real thing and they look identical other than the centre cap.

Anyone had experience with replica alloys, potential problems etc?

Yes I am worried about the finnish.

They won't look gay James, young Red_SXi aka Todd has them on his black Cabriolet and they look fully ace.

Someone find a pic of it.

yeah they really suit the astra. I can't really see much difference between the replica an the real thing apart from the badges. I would have thought they would have to meet some safety requirements before they could be sold, whoever makes em anyway ???

scoob had the same on his (i know its not a coupe !!)

bloody hell thats a big difference, so even if ya got the replicas and didn't like the finish, you could have them sprayed differently and still they'd be cheaper than the real thing !!!

Oh yeah forgot Scoob had them, see they look ace.

I can't justify paying £1100 for a set of wheels when I could have them for £700, thats like just throwing money down the drain to be a designer whore.
