Talk to frank@wheelking about some genuine rims. To be honest copies are crap and if they break you may be unable to source some more. To give an example say you had your rims for 2 years and then hit a pothole and smashed one to pieces and it was unrepairable. You get on the phone and try and contact the original supplier and they have shut up shop or are not producing those rims anymore and don't have any in stock. Now your stuck with 3 rims and cant get a 4th. Had you had an original rim you could contact HSV or one of their suppliers and you would have a new rim shipped out there within a week. You can still buy original clubby rims from them now over 20 years later. Food for thought.
Another thing to consider is that you don't know where the copies have been made and if they comply to Australian standards. You could be driving down the road and the rim could let go and spear you straight into a tree. With genuine rims they are made to a specific standard and using specific metals and are proven to be safe. Sure copies are safe but what value do you put on your life?

Hi Matt
I know exactly what you mean but unfortunatly mate my money doesnt grow on tree's and if i can save $1000+ now and get the look i want then thats what im going to have to do.
I would love original GTS rims i think you would be stupid not too but i guess its the money that makes the decision for me. :(
