Shakira?

I would tryout the Chakira's since no one has them and they seem to be very close looking to the real deal.

Stick with Linea Corsa. These guys have been around for a very long time, the parent company Rota Wheels. Rota makes alot of replica wheels and thus far they have been good. Why not just save up and buy the real thing than reps? I notice alot of people here rock the replica things than the authentic stuff...the modding scene has definitely changed from the E36 days.

Never heard of the chikara brand.

I've been extremely happy with my lc lemans though. I got one of the first sets when the e46 m3 offsets were released.
