Don't know where you're located but if you're near a BMW dealership you may be able to see the real thing on vehicle or they may have them displayed in their parts area. One of our dealers here in Detroit has several OE wheels on display that could be easily viewed for comparison....doesn't help if you're not near a dealership though.

replica will need hubcentric ring... OEM doesnt need...

and of course the weight.. not so sure about the difference though
Some replicas do not need hubcentric rings (actually most of the newer versions do not).
