"
Q: Are the wheels all original factory BMW?

They are real OEM wheels. I looked at the 166s and they're priced at about what Garry from Newport BMW will offer. Plus, if you read the fine line, they are also owned by a BMW dealership in AZ.

I specifically called and asked the question and they verified that the wheels are BMW OEM Factory wheels. The website is simply one way the AZ dealership markets wheels. In fact the dealership transferred me to the person in charge of the website.
