I have been very happy with my Nuvolari reps I got from ebay. Cant fault them to be honest and sure glad I didn't spend massive amounts on the wheels as all four have been kerbed within a few months of owning them, first one was kerbed less than 24 hours after putting them on the car after being forced up a kerb by an ignorant white van driver in a narrow lane.
Only thing I would say if you go for similar is get uprated tyres as the rubbish I got with mine are pretty dire in the wet, but for £500 odd all in no real complaints.

There was some horror stories re the quality on some of the earlier reps.
Most now are very good, the recent batch I had ín of RS6 reps were very good, pant quality was much improved.

lol - best mis-spell of the day "pant quality was much improved" !

I got me some B5 RS4 reps which i originally had on my old A4 2.8Q Avant... they now reside on the S4 and are blinding (although curbed!). Think i paid about 750 at the time but that was with some half decent tyres and was about 2 years go now. Definitely pay a bit extra to get some decent tyres on them if you get some, otherwise as bobbler says you'll get complete rubbish!

And Phil: I'm glad your Pant quality is improved... no one likes sub-standard pants!

Lol
Always wear my best "pants" on my motorbike just in case I have an off. Don’t want the nurses offended with the quality of my undergarments.
