1. Are these
"replicas" worth buying? Also, what exactly does a "replica" mean? A wheel that has been re-manufactured?
2. Does anyone have any idea what "bright silver acrylic full face" means? I am guessing it would be a powder coating type thing or something similar to powder coating?
3. Will a 225/45/17 tire fit fine on these since they’re 17" x 6" wheel?
4. Can I use McGard’s Spline Drive tuner lug nuts and wheel locks with these even though they’re a factory wheel?
5. I have read on here that at least one person had to have the hubs bored out on the PT Cruiser wheels, is this necessary or does it just depend on the car?
Thanks in advance.
replica is a cheap knock off of the orignal wheel, just like the replica Cobra, willys, 32 fords and stuff like that . only one way to tell if the hub needs to be bored is to get one from the yard and try it

1. Like said, a replica is a knock off of a manufactured product.
2.Bright silver acrylic is similar to chrome, but it isnt chrome. ...does that help lol
3.I would go with a 215/45/17 tire to be honest, and I have some for sale, ide even knock the price down for ya.
4.I would not use spline drive lugs becuase they are a smaller lug designed to fit in a smaller hole of an aftermarket wheels. If you get the wheel and it has a smaller diameter hole than say a stock pt cruiser wheel then yes these would be fine, if not factory lugs ftw
5.I believe it depends on the wheel itself. Ive known of people that had to bore out srt4 wheels, but i slapped a set straight onto my car with no problems, tc wheels need boring, etc.
Hope this helps,
my mom has a gt pt with chrome 5 spoke 17s.. i can try and see if it fits
5 seconds to find another street...
Thanks for the help guys
. I am actually in the midst of trying to sell the GT, so I am going to be sticking with my Nex-Os for the Sedan.
you have to watch out for those chrome plated wheels also, especially the chyrsler ones. The corrode really badly and peel. Ive already seen some that corrode through the rim itself rendering it useless.

I love it when people don't read the entire thread.
I already know they will fit! I have already seen that post and picture!
If you read through my original post you will see I did not once ask if they will fit:
