Default $750 -- 4x brand new Advan RS 18" 5x114 ---is this too good to be true? Fake?

SET OF 4 Advan RS Styling 18" 5x114 3 Glossy Black Alloy Sport Rims Mags Wheels | eBay

Check this out! $750 for 4! Shipping $80 from NSW!

Are these Chinese rip offs of what?

This store also has BBS wheels for $800

I sent a msg to the seller asking him if it's chinese rip offs or originals

Ive seen said knock offs on alibaba.com etc etc when I was looking at getting my own branded rims made up before like Ultrex did.

They have the logo's and centre cap but are definite china made knock offs.

Says it all in the description/title "ADVAN RS Styling"

OK I thought so ...damn bastards...

I also found "made in Taiwan" OZ Racing wheels LOL

ok good to know to stay away from anything that says "Styling"

Anyway I'll buy from a reputable AU vendor when I'm ready to get some, but just happened to come across these, thought I'd check.

Thanks

Also this line implies they are copies

An impression of the original merchandize, the wheels sport exquisite and brilliant design. Elegant in style, and at a competitively affordable bargain, get your hands on these wheels.
