As the pic at the start of the thread shows, theres a noticable difference in emblem inserts.....you either want the right badge or a 'good enough' repro badge. Its all in the details.

Obvioulsy buying a bent and broken wheel at that price isnt common sense and yes you run the risk of getting in trouble with the boys in blue. I paid over that amount purely because it wasnt broken or bent. Sure the rim is slightly worn, but its still very very usable and will require a good clean and maybe a lick of paint on the spokes.....but having the choice of buying rare spares repro wheel or a genuine used in good condition, ill take the used one any day of the week. Whats nuts is paying $300 for a broken wheel......wouldnt part with any of my hard earn money for a broken wheel.....its a a useless part essentially that is only good for being hung in the garage.
