Having never purchased after-market wheels before, I am looking for a set of 15" for my 1984 Benz (stock rim is 14"). I can either purchase brand new ASA or AT Italia for $100 per or I can buy used Mercedes rims for a late 80's car for ~$60 per. Add $40 to powder coat and it's even.
My question is the quality - I'm sure they're not the same quality as the factory original, but how well will they hold up? Price being equal, should I lean towards the powder-coated factory rims or the brand-new aftermarket rims?
