Your desire for the replica M5 wheels is scaring me.
I know that these are cheap, but imagine paying $600 for a set a wheels that may (or may not) cause your entire car to vibrate as you drive.
Like me (after my purchase turned into a total nightmare), you will end of getting rid of the replicas and buying real OEMs.

I can only recommend that you get the replica seller agree to take the wheels back if they vibrate.
If I had a shipment of really nice looking wheels that were unusable, I too would sell them for $600 when then OEMs cost $2200.

I live in Florida, so no winter experience with the GEs. They are great for the year-round summer driving here.
Good luck with the purchase of the whole setup.

If you can do the entire set for less than $1500, and things work well, it will be a good deal.
If you are just trying to save money and you can afford better, don't cheat yourself and your enjoyment of your purchase. Go with the OEMs!

^^^^+1 If OEM's are doable get OEM's if not then get the wheel you can do for the price you want to pay. I managed to get my wheels on craigslist for a great price and they are OEM so no vibration. Look arund before you place the order, you might be able to find a great deal on used rims that are OEM instead of getting just reps.
