no offense inked, but some of the "facts" in that link are comical. That is a straight up 100% opinion piece written by someone who stands to profit from you choosing OEM wheels over reps. I stopped giving it any credence at the first "fact" which states OEM manufacturers make their wheels less susceptible to damage from potholes, which does nothing to explain why hundreds of E60 owners are rolling around on crack-repaired 124s....

Are those Competition reps available in silver too, or just gunmetal?
If you still have either one of these available after the holidays, I'll order a set.

We don't expect to have any silver ones, the gunmetal ones are light enough that people are very favorable with them.
NO worries. there are a lot of people running around stating that they won't buy anything non-OEM, on any part, and yet, if you ever take the time to work at a body shop or repair facility, you realize that OEM manufacturers that deliver parts to the big boys (toyota, bmw, etc.) always have recalls because their stuff fails, their designs are awful, or they are simply using planned obsolescence to pad their bottom line.

most definitely, it's a cat and mouse game for sure. BMW sent my old shop a letter stating that if we didn't immediately remove the painted roundel from our window a lawsuit would be filed.
