Johnny, Are you talking true knock off or replica style wheels. The true knock off I have used is made by Trigo. They are a very nice wheel but the offset is available only in 3.5 inches. The rear end needs to be shortened to accomodate their wheel. The other option on the knock off is the PS Engineering wheel. They are available in just about any offset. I have used many sets of their 5 lug wheel and they are very nice. The options for 5 lug halibrand style wheels are Compomotive, Wright, Team III, PS Engineering, The PS Engineering wheel is a one piece, the Compomotive and Wright wheels are 3 piece, I'm not sure about the Team III. I should mention that Halibrand also makes a true knock off wheel. Pricing will depend on the size and width of the wheel. You can plan on about $1500 and up for the 5 lug, about $2400 and up for the knock off. There is no one brand that works better on the Classic. The offset must be correct for any of the wheels to work. Hope this helps.
