What is the price after you add it to your cart? Some of these sites make up the rest in charging you an arm and a leg for shipping so everything comes out to be what you would pay anywhere else..sometimes more. Just some food for thought.

i think im gonna try to order just 1 on monday and see what it looks like. i wonder if it will even ship.
also what is the offset of the 18x9 nismo/rays wheel? i will try to see if the offsets are the same.
they also have it in the 19x10 rear wheel size, and 06 touring wheels if you scroll down,http://www.theautopartsshop.com/auto...heel+2008.html which all leads me to believe they are real and refurbished (it does say LKQ). i dont know what action crash is but its hard to believe they are making replicas of acura/nissan/and jeep wheels.

In for results
There are several aftermarket companies making replica for all types of brands, this is probably a cast version of the Forged Ray's so it will be of questionable quality and weight

Why not ask the vendor for the specific answers? Maybe request a picture of the specific wheel(s) you're interested in buying? My guess is that these are reconditioned wheels, rather than reps, but who knows, if you don't ask?

i did email them. i asked if the sample picture was the actual wheel they will send, and if action crash was the manufacturer. and included the part #.
the response was, word for word,
"action crash is just a brand name it is an lkq keystone and the picture is of the style of wheel but not always the finish read the description for finish."
and that was all the explaination i got. pretty sure they didnt even look up the part#.
i will be ordering 1 of them later this week anyway.
and i think they are just cast, remanufactured versions of the rays also. but its either these or some xxr's or some rep company which are all cast also i believe.

These are just reconditioned wheels, keystone, Transwheel, and other companies sell these all the time. This is the best price I've seen for them though, I ran a shop for 5+ years in ATL that specialized in this service.
