Question wheels and clear bra!!

I do not know much about all this.
I see some wheel on E-Bay for 500$ and clear bra For 10$
Is there a ketch to these price?
I do not realy see the deference between the $2000.00 set and $380.00 set
They do not list the LBS of there wheels, is this the ketch?
The only one I found was aroung 30lbs, what is the weight of the OEM wheels?
Thank for any help.

The link to the eBay listing would help.

A picture will never show the difference between a $500 set of wheels and $2000 ones. You can't always see quality, strength and finish.

I would be a little weary on the clear bra. I have heard that they cost a couple hundred.

Not only that some of the cheap stuff won't last very long if you get the chitty no name brand. Try peeling it off later when its stuck to your paint and its all faded or falling apart.

The clear bra is a worthwhile investment. Take the car to a professional.

If you like the wheels go for it. Make sure that the offset is suitable for your needs.

I paid almost $500.00 including the headlights in 3M clear bra material, if you are paying $200.00 this would be the your best friend doing you a major deal or eBay product.

You get what you pay for....

There is NO WAY this is legit 3M material. (If it's 3M, it's hot. If it's fake, it's crap.) Look around on the web. Kits are $200+ and installation is a PITA!! (I've done it) Plain, clear, vinyl looks like the 3M stuff and even (sorta) installs like it but the protection is nowhere near as good and if it's vinyl rather than real paint protection film, you're seriously screwed because it won't last and removal will kill your finish. I wouldn't risk it.

I like these guys. There are many others too.
