Guys,

If you're interested in replica wheels, check out the catalog at www.eurowheelsinc.com. They have pics of the different types and show sizes and offsets just below the wheel pictures. They're located in California and the phone number is on the site. Pricing seems good - I recall about $200 per wheel for the M6 replica wheels. They have multiple different styles for BMW and other makes as well. These are Italian made, so the quality should be good.

I am not affiliated with them - I ended up with 18 inch type 246 wheels for my XI.

Hope this helps someone out.

Mark

I don't know if these are the same companies eurowheelsinc and eurowheelsusa. The bad stuff seems to be eurowheelsusa. I've never used them. They said they supply Hartmann, but that was over the phone...

Like I said, I bought OEM wheels... caveat emptor

OEM is the way to go.
replica from trusted source before non-trusted.
used over untrusted.
last resort, untrusted.

I don't think they are the same companies.
Eurowheelsusa area code is 602 which is Phoenix AZ
Eurowheelsinc says Downey, California

OEM over Replica for sure. If they are in good condition.
