I think reps are just fine especially for their value. I haven't heard of one guy in here who said their replica OEM wheels failed.
for the guys looking for value wheels, contact alan baylis at wheel enhancement. they have refinished oem wheels for sale. i'd look at the options over there before buying a new set of reps.

I use replicas for my snow tires and they work well.
I have seen more replicas fail on the track than OEM wheels, though...
I had a chance to compare the weight of Italy replica GT3 wheels (18"x10", I think) and they weighed 38 lbs - compared with a hollow spoke 993 wheel (same size) that weighs 26 lbs. Huge difference!
