I have an affinity to them and Wheel Replicas are very nice folks. They're about 20 mins from my house and went to their store for some saleen reps a few years back.

Post pics when they're mounted!

Please clarify "last set". As in, no longer produced?

Awesome wheels by the way.

This is only a guess but my experience with Wheel Replica's is that don't don't keep their wheels in stock long and popular wheels are often on a long back order. So I'm thinking he got the last ones in stock.

It was a pretty small warehouse and all of their stuff is imported from Chinar.

They told me their stuff came from China and that's what made it so hard to know how long wheels would be on back order.

I called them since you cant find 17x8 - 5 lug SC's anywhere.... Jeff dug in the warehouse and found the last 2 for me. I was told everyone with 5lug wants bigger rims 17 x 9 and 18's. So no one may ever get any more 17/8 5 lugs..... so ya potentially last set......

my guess is demand would change that and hoopty's right they said they are adding 5000 sq ft for more space.

Not trying to thread jack but are these the same? Came across them on lunch break and just seen this thread. If they are highly sought after I may just try to make a deal.

Your car and @TOOLOW91 definitely helped me decide it was the way to go....

I looked at @hoopty5.0 s thread and think he has the same rims as me only in 9's and 10's

Mine aren't 5lug but they are 8's and 9's. If you need a tire size recommendation I'm running 245/45's up front and 275/40's out back. Fit real nice and I only hear tire rubbing while hard cornering and up front only.
Here's a little teezer pic to get you motivated to have them installed quick! .
