Peg replicas?

[Saaamon]

What are they like for starters? Are they worth buying or best to avoid?

If all is good, where is the best place to buy that can ideally do a deal on tyres? Found a company on ebay but not sure if i'd be doing the right thing, havnt got a price with tyres just seen the advert.

Happy to buy second hand but volans or pegs dont seem to come up for sale often.

Cheers. Simon.

Some are fantastic and some not so good, I had a perfect set of Peg replica's but they were top dollar.

Those look a poorer example to be truthful as the spokes look to be the wrong depth.

If I were to buy again though I'd wait for a genuine set to pop up, they may command top dollar but there is obviously a reason that you can buy a set of four replica's for less than one genuine new wheel.

I`ve got these fitted to my car

I`m more than pleased with them :)

And M-R-P sprayed them bmw metallic graphite :)

[Harvey]

I got my set from here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/380541879326 these are volvo ones not copy's.
This seller is a Volvo main dealer in Germany.
If you look at this seller in the new year he has a lot more for sale ok these are 18" but he does sell 17" and they are cheaper as well.

They look the part, the price speaks for itself though I guess!

I got my set of 4 18" for what volvo uk wanted for 1.5 rims to my door.

[T5frankie]

ive had 17's and 19's and never had a problem with them being reps

[Santa]

Really depends, not focusing on quality but on an S60R you really feel the difference between Genuine and Reps but on any other car especially if you haven't used genuine before I'm not sure you are going to miss anything.

I have both and don't notice any difference between the two.

On which car?

[BIG G]

i would say hold out and look for a genuine set.... ive had 17"...18" and 19" replicas on my C70 and when i put genuine 18" pegs i could feel the difference. handled and felt smoother to me. i might have a set soon will let u know.

[Jimmie]

s60r
What do you notice ?

Increased balance on hard steering. Maybe your replicas were closer to the real thing then most...............or I'm just sensitive.

Is that the REAL name of the colour ?

I bought a set from these too, I'm made up with them! :)

http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/n518/doingitsideways/DSC_0011.jpg

If you look closely you can tell the difference, especially around the rim and the recess for the nuts.

http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/n518/doingitsideways/DSC_0004.jpg

But for the price, I'm more than happy... They even fitted them for me!

I think they may be a bit more "Wobbly" than genuine Pegs though, as the ride isn't half as hard as I thought it would be... Soft ar5ed 960 suspension isn't really suited to big wheels/low profile tyres!!

Yes :wink:

[M-R-P]

Yes :wink:

Lol, you sure?

One thing I noticed with with Oblark's peg reps was they're slightly heavier than genuine ones. Very good quality though.

[Doingitsideways]

These really don't look like my reps.

Well of course not... Yours are grey!!

Lol :D

They're Titans, from an 850 T5-R.

[volvokid]

Haha that's maybe correct then, they where silver before though :-P

No offence, but they're hideous! You don't have to be up close to see the difference, you can tell from a mile off!

Some Rep's look 'OK', but others look terrible.

IMHO all the Pegasus replica's look naff. I'll have a set of replica 18's for sale shortly, if anyone's interested LOL :uglyhamme

No got them from Volvo in the summer.

[volvokid]

Actual Volvo or a forum member called Volvo?

[Doingitsideways]

Cheers very much!!

No offence, but you're ugly!! Lol

Well, for a set of brand new 18" alloys with tyres, Peg reps or not, for just shy of £600, they'll do for me!!

Trouble is, as with any replica O.E wheel, there have to be differences or the manufacturer will get butt-f**ked for copying the design.

I was very tempted by a set of Nebula reps for the S80 for the same price, but decided on a completely different wheel imstead... Wish I hadn't now though! :(

Nevertheless, I'll keep pottering around on my hideous wheels until I win the lottery and can then afford a set of brand new genuine ones!

Thats not a bad price rims with tyres fitted and then fitted on the car,what were on the car before ?.

[volvokid]

I thought they weren't reps, I may bare that on mind though if I ever need new ones

[Doingitsideways]

Standard 960 16" multi spoke jobbies, with tyres balder than Kojak (bald, over-inflated tyres + locking diff x RWD = plenty of sideways action... Hense the user name!! ;) )

Tyres are only budget jobbies, but they grip quite well tbh :)

[t5 stealth]

i got reps on mine and had them on for years,havnt had a problem with them since i fitted them,
except the rubber dont last long,...or maybe thats cos the driver :)
i even got another set sitting in my garage.

I like them and they look really nice on the 960 mate

[Harvey]

Good choice as you needed 4 new tyres as well.

[Sharkey R]

Nothing wrong with Peg Reps. Got me a set of 19s on my girl and love them.

[spencem875]

Sorry to thread hijack, was driving home tonight and a pot hole has f**ked passenger front. Have found a rep on eBay, is it the 8J I would need for S60R?

If your wheel is genuine you will notice the difference between the two.
