Bought my replicas at the same place. They vibrated and I sold them (here) and moved to OEMs.

Make sure that they do not sell you 74.1mm inside diameter when your 5-series takes 72.56mm.

In addition, make sure that they are not made in China (poor quality), which they likely are.

My experience was not pleasant, and I can only spread the word to others.

Save your money on tires (use General Exclaims) rather than the wheels.

Anthony517,

thanks for the correction and clarification. I realzied the wheels I originally posted were not the correct wheels. I did find a post by quad_m regarding these Alpina wheels for the E60. I have sent him a pm asking for more info.
IMHO the pic in the ebay link of the E60 with these wheels does not look that great. Thanks for your help homie...

I bought a set from them for my wifes X5. A staggerred 20 inch set and they're awesome. They're not quite the Z8 wheels you refer to though. Those are Alpina wheels which are slightly different. More spokes. They are similar though so i can see the reference. Here is a pic.

All the best

Can you post a few more pics straight from the side of the car? I keep going back looking at it. I think it look EXCELLENT on the E53 X5 for some reason... Post more so i can use one as my wall paper for a week or so till I get tired of it.
