hi,
I am looking to get new wheels for my car (E60 530xi) and I like the M5 replica wheels..
I noticed that most of the wheels that I saw had offset of 20ET..(I believe 40-45ET would work on my car)
does anyone know if there is m5 replica wheels for xi fitment?

No, plus you don't want M5 replicas....they are crap.
Do some searching on here for VMR, velocity motoring rims...V710 or VB-3.

+1 You get what you pay for. If you enjoy buying shitty wheels for $900 a set and then watching them crack or bending on the 1st or 2nd pothole, by all means.

Miro M6s go for about that much. I thought we all loved those?

Aren't they an example of the "reps are crap" you mentioned? I prefer more unique wheels, so the Miros (owned by what seems like half the forum - are out)

Please don't go with replicas. You may get vibration, plus all kinds of other problems.
A full set would be $1600 new if you get them from Garry at Newport or other places.
Save money by getting General Exclaim tires rather than PS2s.
Don't sacrifice the wheels!!!!!!
I have never heard anyone complain about OEMs.

Or, if you can be patient, scour cragslist - I did and I got my OEM wheels for a great price. Used - yes, but they are unique and looks good. And as others say, since they're OEM - I got no complaints, fitment is perfect.
