e60 BMW M5 Style 166 replica advice
Hi,
I'm from Australia and looking to import from the US some BMW M5 style 166 replicas for my 2005 e60 525i (we have very little available here in Aus). I've searched ebay, looked online etc. with no luck.
I'm looking for a set of 19" (8.5f and 9.5r) with a rear offset of between ET25 - ET15 that have a nice deep concave.
Can anyone please recommend a particular shop that sells these wheels that I can get in contact with? I'd really appreciate any assistance.

Umnitza's have a 40mm offset (which seems like they're made to suit a different model), and even on the US ebay site I can't seem to find a set that's right. (??)

Don't do it!! I had a set of replicas and never could get them balanced. Also they don't look right. Less concaved. OEM all the way!!
