Replica Si rims?

Replica Si rims, any good?, it about 17.5 lb. each.......dealer asking $360 for a set. what u guy's think? thanks

Dealer Description of these rims:
This is a set (4 wheels) of brand New Original Reproduction alloy wheels. They are manufactured to O.E.M. Standards VDA 6.1/QS-9000. The wheels carry the same lifetime warranty as O.E.M. originals against workmanship. Wheels have been engineered and tested for structural integrity and pressure tested. Wheels are perfect replicas, right down to every detail. The finish is identical to the original finish and colors.

Hard to tell how close because the pic is a bit on the grainy side. The real ones are machine finished and clearcoated, then the sides of the spokes are painted grey, just a little darker than the polished face. The lip on the outside of the holes between the spokes also looks a little on the thick side and the real ones are lighter. For about the same 360 you can probably get the real ones off someone's brand new 03 Coupe with the tires.
It could be the photo, but looking at the bottom of the pic, the spokes have a bow to them from the lip (you see the line on the outside edge of the spoke?) The real ones are flat.
I'm not going to take a pic of mine because they're so filthy right now (snow slop and ****), I don't even want to look at them.

Wow they do look the same...which dealer did you go to? but for $360 you mite be able to get them with tires off other forums. I'm searching for the same wheels but i kinda prefer the real thing. But they do look close if not exactly the same.
