Default Replica G35 OEM Wheels?

I was looking at buying some wheels that this guy says are oem forged g35 wheels and they look exactly like the rays 19's but he says he is positive they are 18s. I'm just really confused because I can not find anything that suggests these wheels were ever made in an 18in. I found that replicas were made in an 18in and hes kinda being weird about sending me a picture of the stamp on the inside so i'm starting to feel like they are not oem. Any info would help thanks

I've never heard of a replica. If you're unable to actually go see them in person, I'd pass. If he can verify that they are the 18 pounds and say "forged" then it's a plausible deal. How much is he asking for them, if you don't mind my asking?

There is in fact several companies that make replica G35 OEM wheels all the way up to 20" sizings

Thanks for the replies everyone. I never heard of replicas either until I started looking for info on these wheels. But I did find out that these wheels are actually oem infiniti wheels but they are not forged. Theres a bunch on ebay, I was going to pick them up for about $350 locally, and either keep them or make a little profit, but since they are 18x7.5 and not forged I think I will just pass on them

18" wheels that look like the 19" rays that are OEM do exist... they were oem on the sport sedan.
