Default OEM wheels online, too cheap to be real?

Hey folks,

I have a dent on one of my front 18" Rays from my 2003 Track that is causing a slow air leak. I went looking for a replacement online and found a whole bunch of sites selling what appear to be remanufactured OEM rims very cheap. See this as an example:
http://www.nissan-auto-and-parts.com...y62415u20.html

These are 1/10 the price of the cheapest new OEM wheel I've seen and much less than used wheels I've seen on Ebay, etc. Can these be real? I can't even get the wheel I already have repaired that cheaply.

They seem, and state, theat they are OEM reconditioned wheels.

Still not bad for a second set of wheels for the track

It looks like a hell of a deal for around $500 shipped for some OEM track wheels... I would consider it if I were to need OEM wheels

The "street" price for OEM wheels is around $150 each, so that's not an unrealistic price, especially if they are "reconditioned".

Welcome. As Aust350z mentioned. They are reconditioned wheels. Looks real to me.

This might serve my future projects. I am curious about feedback about their business.
