Alloys for VW Passat - 16 or 17" - RS4 or Santa Monica Replicas

Where would I be able to get RS4 or Santa Monica replicas for my VW Passat in Dublin?

I've seen loads on eBay. Thought they might be less pricey locally? I was thinking of getting 16" rims and putting 205/55/R16 NCT5 tyres on them.

You could try http://www.performancealloys.com. I don't know what they are like to deal with or if they are cheaper than ebay. You could also try a few local wheel centres which specialise in aftermarket alloys also.

eBay is cheaper than them alright. Are replicas legal in the EU btw?

Or are they like fake Gucci Handbags? The ones on eBay come with VW badges.

Eh? Patern parts and replicas are not illegal (yet!)

I mean the way they use the VW trademark.
