I have been highly considering a set of 21" staggered style 128 wheels for this upcoming summer.

-Does anyone know where to find them at a decent price? I can't find them for less than $350 a wheel.

-Has anyone ever tried out replicas of the 128's?

-Whoever has owned these, do you/did you like them?

I wouldn't mind buying a used set with some curb rash since I plan on powder coating them black.

I am located in NY/DC.

Reps can be better than the OEM ones! one guy bent all his factory 128's and only bent 1 rep 128 rim afterwards!

Wheelsandcaps.com on ebay or online used to be the place to go.

FYI - A few years ago I found a company on ebay that was making/selling sets of 128 repros in 20" size vs 21". The 20" allows a little more sidewall for dealing with crappy roads (Im in chicagoland) and 20" tires are a lot less expensive. Might want to search to see if they still sell them.

Bimmerkais, I hear ya but they style 128's look amazing with some skinny tires.

Fatboy, I've seen sets for around 1200-1400 on google search. But like you said, tires are a pain. I would love to find a used set with tires. Wouldn't mind curb rash because I plan on powder coating them black

21's make the car, I ran them for 7 years straight on a 745 and a 750. Both reps from wheels and caps and never bent one.
