welcome. hmm arent those style 89 wheels off of a 7 series? i tried searching for them on realoem and found these http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?mo...hg=36&fg=15 . anyway, youll get a lot of opinions about replical wheels. replicas have been known to present vibration issues if not with hubcentric rings, possible rubbings, paint flaking, and other issues as well. but some with replicas have been quite satisfied with them and have no or barely any issues to complain about. so i guess its hit or miss. good luck and enjoy the forums.

Those definitely aren't Z8 wheels.
The standard ones had 5 solid spokes per wheel (and looked naff, IMHO), while the Alpina V8 Roadster variant had 20-spoke Alpina "Dynamic" rims.

Fellas,
You are right. I mistook these for the alpina wheels of the Z8. thanks for the input.
BTW, yeah I do have a 2008 528i. The search for rims continues.
Thanks
