I've seen some threads about people talking about the M5 Replica wheels made by ABI. The parent company is supposedly an Italian company called, Ruotecompany (http://www.ruotecompany.com).

I've seen these wheels on eBay, but the distributor is in Australia and wants $500 to ship. I'm wondering if anyone knows if you can buy ABI wheels here in the US? Here's a link to what I'm talking about...

Here's an owner that has them on his car...

PS - These are hands down the best replica wheels I've seen. Much better than MIRO, which have a lip around the entire edge of the wheel. The reason I can't go with the OEM wheels is bc I have a 530xi (AWD). I need an offset of 38mm or higher (basically, the 3 series offset), which requires me to buy replica's. OEM wheels don't come in this offset for this wheel. :thumbsdown:

Someone here had replica and had to buy 166 OEM at the end.

This is probably what you are looking for...
