honestly, getting a replica wheel is usually not a good idea. a lot of the legit companies have cracked down on those replicas and the quality in most cases will suffer greatly. i know it sucks that two got damaged but depending on the original wheel, there has to be some out there no matter how "rare" a wheel is thought to be. you never really specified which wheels these are in the first place. might be able to find some by looking around or just use this as an excuse to get yourself a new set of wheels completely. but as for the replicas, IMO that is not a very good idea because when it comes to stuff like wheels and that, it is best to make sure it is done right.

If you're talking about wheels like Rotas or whatever, they're fine.

How about telling us what rims you have now and maybe someone can tell you if there is a replica out there. Maybe even a pic would help.

its RH pro J5.. i dun have the pic currently but u can google it.. yea.. it can be found.. but need to be shipped out from japan or i dunno where.. its for a pretty expensive cost too.. im very sure that the damage is not that bad and it is repairable for reasonable price.. but the bodyshop says its better to replace.. so i think im going for stock 1st and repair it in my friend's place in LA..
