When it comes to upgrading or replacing your wheels, one of the most common questions is: Should I go for OEM, reproduction, or aftermarket wheels?
At Reproduction Wheels NZ, we believe in helping car enthusiasts and everyday drivers alike make informed choices. Let’s dive into what reproduction wheels really are — and why they might just be the perfect solution for you.
What Are Reproduction Wheels?
Reproduction wheels, also known as replica wheels, are high-quality copies of original equipment manufacturer (OEM) wheels. They are designed to match the exact look, fitment, and performance specifications of the factory originals, without the premium price tag.
Manufacturers use advanced casting and forging techniques to ensure strength, safety, and style. The main difference? The price and availability.
Why Choose Reproduction Wheels?
There are plenty of reasons why Kiwi drivers are choosing reproduction wheels for their vehicles:
-
Affordability
Reproduction wheels offer the same sleek design and reliability as OEM wheels but at a fraction of the cost. Whether you’re repairing damage or just want a fresh look, they’re budget-friendly without compromising quality. -
Wide Range of Styles
Missing that factory look? Reproduction wheels are available in a variety of popular styles that suit European, Japanese, and American vehicles alike. At Reproduction Wheels NZ, we stock designs that complement every ride. -
Quality Assurance
Modern reproduction wheels are manufactured to meet stringent safety standards. Our range goes through rigorous testing for durability and load rating compliance, giving you peace of mind on the road. -
Availability
OEM wheels can be hard to source, especially for older or limited-edition vehicles. Reproduction wheels fill this gap, offering quick and convenient access to your desired style.
Are Reproduction Wheels Safe?
This is a common concern — and a valid one! The short answer is yes, when sourced from reputable suppliers like us.
