Shops won't take in rims at good price. They will usually offer very low, but can understand as they also need to make a living.

AL offered me $400 + used SSS stock rims/tyres for my Prodrive rims/tyres. Too low for me, so i end up buying a used set of stock rims/tyres from another person for $250, and sold my Prodrive for $1.7k to someone else.

Sell and buy is different. Shops will of course take in your used rims at very low prices depending on condition. :)

no lah i sell direct to another person. but i would have disposed it anyway so $100 was really just a bonus.

price usually will give you a hint but that can of course be marked up excessively. usually a set won't be cheaper than 1K SGD

other than that, look for made in japan, made in china/taiwan replicas cannot put made in japan or they will get into a lot of trouble with the customs.

also usually there's a sticker inside the rim:

reps usually don't go that far...

personally i run a set of rep te37 and i'm happy with the price i paid for the aesthetic outlook i get. of course i tear off all the decals because i am rocking the looks, not the so called portrayed brand image.

is SSR rim good? Any where to tell if its replica or not?

Looking at the 17"......

The spokes of replica SSRs, whether Type F or C, are too curved. The real ones are flatter. Trained eyes can detect.

Additionally, replicas will not have the SSR engraving to avoid copyright infringement.
