What do you mean "an aftermarket wheel, made to OEM" then you have an option saying OEM is OEM under that.
Aftermarket is not Original Equipment Manufacture. so that statement doesnt work.
I should have been more specific, but I hope people figured out what my intentions were.

My Ride: '05 545i - scheduled for ED pickup in Munich on 7/22!
OEM rims aren't that great compared to the best aftermarket rims (ie. BBS, OZ, etc). OEM are too heavy and prone to bends/cracks as documented on this board. OEM rims are also not forged.
For example, BBS makes the OEM BMW wheels, but they also have "aftermarket" forged wheels that exceed BMW's quality.
Chrome rims are not for ricer crowd. They are for the hiphop crowd.

You forgot to place on the poll the 172's and 135's which are one of the best OEM styles, in my opinion

Agreed, and while I don't have any problem with chrome in general, not for me...
bling is for show... So not for me.

I'm surprised to see so many people willing to rely on replica wheels.
Maybe I should look into it?
