wheel dilemma help or advice required

Ok guys im in a dilemma

My sport has got a set of overfinch tigers fitted not sure if they are orginals or copys but one is slightly different but they are the same style and all 22" etc...

Now these are my options.. i prefer the super sport overfinch wheels so do i

1, buy a set of 22" replica super sports for £800 from a local wheel and tuning type place

2, buy a set of replica super sports from a small independent wheel place for £650 or are these too cheap

3, Buy a set of genuine over finch super sports in 20" not 22" for £1250 ish in titanium finish..

Im wondering is the cheaper replicas are totally made of Censored alloy and the dearer ones might be better quality ones, im not really wanting to spend the £1250 and then tyres on top of the price and ending up with 20's not 22's but im wondering if the 22's are to soft and im better with 20" but like the 22 look as well...argh heads done in Big Cry Big Cry Big Cry Big Cry Big Cry Live life to the full its the only one your getting.

Lot of money to spend on a personal aesthetic taste...

Spend half of the money on a remap and put the rest towards the next set of tyres to fit whatever wheels are currently fitted. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Just go with your heart Neo and do what u want m8. Too many people have different things to say about wheel types, a woudnt let the difference in price help your decision either as I've just removed a four grand set of genuine Overfinch off mine cos they've cracked for the 3rd time now so I woudnt say more money guarantees better quality Java black 2006

Definitely genuine 22's!

If you had a race horse would you get a professional blacksmith to fit proper horse shoes or would you just glue lumps of cheese to the hooves and hope for the best?

Your analogy is a bit off lol
The choice is either genuine 22's which are expensive and prone to cracking or replicas which are less than half the price but are also prone to cracking.
