Do be carefull on the replica wheels, one of the companies makes an 
unacceptable wheel.  The webing
between the lug holes and the hub hole is very thin and fractures.  A racer I 
know showed me this on a 
set he had been running.  Every wheel had four cracks on them, for a total of 
16 breaks.  Several of the
breaks were multiple, with wide pieces of metal broken away, but being retained 
by the shape of the
fractures.  

I wish I could remember which wheel maker this was, but I do not remember.
