sl 2 piece amg @ bekkers..any good?

I have been trying to ind the perfect wheel for my 500E for toooooo long and finally settled for the 2 piece amg's. I have looked around and just dont want to dish out close to 4,000 just for the wheels plus tires. I found at bekkers.com a replica and would just like to know if anyone has ever used these before or have any knowledge as to thier quality? if so do they have as much lip as the originals do? do they weigh much more? and if you can add anymore information on these i would greatly appreciate it. It's just been so hard for me to find the wheel I want and when i finaly find it, it was way too expensive. so no biggie I will settle. plus the 2 piece amgs look phat enough for the price.
thanks in advance.
i've attached a picture i got from bekkers and as you can see they look identical(unless i missed something)

The Bekkers replicas are made by RH-Alurad of Germany. Good quality and TUV approved, but not up to OZ (AMG) or BBS standards.

nice wheels

I lOVE the 2-piece SL wheels; they are a bit pricey, though (as are all AMG products!)...

I think the replicas are fine... unless you're going to be doing a lot of track work... or freeway driving a-la-run-exe...
