Fake Advan Alloys?

Hi guys,

I found a set of Advan Racing RZ alloys for a very cheap price that i was very tempted to purchase. But could these be a fake? Do fake/replika alloys exist?

Here's the link if the alloys for sale:

THANKS !!

The photos look legit, but I'd be concerned that you'll get exactly what's in the photos. The other issue is that they are 17x7's (i.e. thinner than stock for the FD).

Thanks Mahjik. I didn't notice it.

And its seems too good to be true.

The seller has a set Weds Alloys for sale. The price is very low too.....who knows....
