Post a WTB thread in the classifieds.
Discount Tire sells reps -- just paint them.

My local Discount Tire only sells 18" & 20" and they are heavy & gravity cast - they cautioned me against them if I had concerns about quality.
They got my 19's from Hartmann, but then I went with gloss anthracite due to the wait - I think they look great!
I"ll sell mine for $2k plus shipping :)

I ran a set of DTD reps on my B6 S4 without a single problem, and I DD'ed the car on the streets of Chicago.

I could be convinced to sell my 19" titaniums and tires for the right price. What are you willing to pay? I'd have to buy new wheels before selling though. Only have 6 k miles on mine. Excellent condition. I want20" replicas so may consider if I get a good amount.

I want these and am considering ebay or these. But going to wait and only if I get a lot for my factory titaniums.

I'll be putting up my 20x9 ET 37 WSP Italy Giasone wheels as soon as I get my hands on a replacement.
They are silver though. Not titanium.

I got a quote from my dealership for $2000 for the set of 4...are reps from Hartmann, OEM+, etc reliable and durable? Thats my main concern with reps...because if not, I might just suck up the price and get OEM

Hartmanns ( I have had 2 sets on two different cars now) are IMO easily as good as if not better than OEM in finish. They also are typically built with a slightly more aggressive offset which is a drawback of OEM. I'm seriously considering posting mine for sale with conti DW if interested send a PM.

They will put you in touch with a local dealer. Apparently about the same weight and spec as the original Ti rotor wheels

Unless you're running on underinflated rubberband tires, I've never heard of a replica failing under normal use. I certainly wouldn't slam into potholes but I've run reps on two different cars now and even on the shitty Chicago streets they did fine.

Shipping is an arm and a leg to the US. Believe me I have a set.
Great quality but not sure how many are willing to pay for it.
Here they are... 20x9 ET37 w/ 255/30/20's

Ok, can you give ball park on shipping?
What is the weight on these? I would be looking at 19" but it will give me an idea. Thanks.

Rim alone is 28/29lbs a piece.
Wheels shipped were almost 1700 + International CC fee + Customs fees.
They arrived in Customs a week after I ordered.
(I'm not even going to talk about the paperwork and time I spent dealing with customs) [headbang]
The tires I bought in the states and had them mounted locally.
I'll be selling them soon but shipping is out of the question unless someone can arrange for them to be picked up.
Good luck.

Have you got a pic of your ride with the wheels on 'em? :)

Unfortunately I didn't snap any pics of them on the car. I'm sure you can find some on the web though.
EDIT: Someone on the forum just posted the 19" version.

Not really. I'm looking at 19x9.5 ET45 BBS CH-R's right now and can't find any lower than 2350.
I'm sure 20" pricing would be about 1k more than the WSP's.
Anyway, I know I wont get my money back and will probably list wheels/tires for 1800.

The Hartmanns are 1 lb less (with tires in sig) than stock 18s. Pics in my sig.

What about ride quality? Is there any noticable difference there? Like is it stiffer, softer, etc.

No.
...and to address Dparm's comment there are PLENTY of of examples of cheap replicas failures.
Both in finish and in construction.
