All--

Please tell the good and bad about replica wheels. I notice that a lot of folks are interested in them. Anyone ever crack one? Do they come with clearcoat? do they pit and get stained? Are they worth the cheaper price?

Also, if you have them on your car, please post pics!

Are any of these wheels clear coated? I think that is a "must" especially of you deal with acid rain and crap living around a big city like Chicago! I dont worry about salt, since she is parked in the winter.
