Hi alohalc:
The price I paid was: $1500.00 for my new 18inch wheels. If you are interested, be sure to call "Nathan" at 888.682.3129 at "The Wheel Exchange", and be sure to let him know your a member from this E60 forum, and mentioned my name Eddie Presley from GA. and how we have been corresponding through email, and how you saw my 04 530i and my BMW "M" Parallel Replica wheels here, so he will be familiar what your looking for.
Nathan also accepts email at "The Wheel Exchange". He seems to take a personal interest in us BMW E60 forum members. He also has a lot more cool BMW wheel packages there you can choose from in making your final decision.
By the way, I placed my order with Nathan on a Friday afternoon, and I took delivery for my new wheels that following Tuesday.

Model Year: 2005
Engine: 545i
I got as well BMW replica's 17" design 124 for my winter setup.
No problems up to now. Nice quality and only a few grams of weight to balance them. I would consider as well a set of 18" replicas!!
I paid about the same. Very good deal.
The ones I have are made in Italy.
Apparently there are BMW replica rims being made in South east Asia.
Speculation or not, I have not heard very good stories about them quality wise -
but they are even cheaper...I was told by my wheels dealer to tell anyone to avoid them....
You can check on the inside of the rim where they are made.
