i was lookin on ebay for some 5th generation se rims for my 95 max and came across these::
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...319&category=0
now if u notice, it says,
"NEW NISSAN MAXIMA REPLICA WHEEL YEAR 2001"

now what exaclty does that mean?
i mena, they look pretty darn close to the real thing to me, and yeah they are cheap, but i figured thats becuase they come without tires??

also, these say replica....

and these(though they are chromed):
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33748

what gives?

and sorry if this question has been answered, i dont frequent the 5th gen. forum much and i dont have access to the search feature yet(though i DID donate!) so any help would be great

ps- im not planning on buying rims any time soon, i was just looking

thanks guys

 

Replica is exactly what the term means, REPLICA. It is a knock off. It is not a dealer/manufacturer original, but to the normal eye you cant tell the difference.
