What is your goal here? You're looking for the original wheels or the knock-offs? Either way, there are tons of sites selling both.

As toyomatt84 mentioned, you're going to need to be more specific in what exactly you need to know.

I really wish we had a sticky where people posted how to tell certain wheels from their replicas. Then list all the wheels in the first post with links to each post.

I sure can't keep track of all of them so I don't even try.

Well... to generate a sticky of that magnitude would take me a VERY long time. When I'm done helping with the development of a current informational thread, I'll see about jumping on the creation of something like this.

I didn't mean by yourself or even you.

I meant one thread where people could start by posting what they know (please use reliable hosting for pics). Then just use the first post as an index to the other posts.

I didn't mean one person needed to take it on.

I suppose that is true. I could have a few reserved posts within it as well, to try and keep the information towards the first page.
