My Ride: 2004 545i TITANIUM GREY II on Black Dakota Lthr, Comfort Seats, Sports PKG, Premium PKG, Active/Dynamic Drive, NAV, Winter Package.
Someone in my area is selling M6 Replica wheels with Tires for a reasonable price ~$1500, question; would I have any vibration problem with these replicas? I've read many posts before were people experienced vibration problems with replica wheels but then there are many people on this forum that did not. I need some advise. Thanks

What brand reps are they? Many people on this forum use Miros without any issues.

Hey moopai, if they are miro you might be okay... lately on here quite a few members have been happy with their reps. Maybe ask the seller if you can mount and drive first... sounds crazy but $1500 today is more than $1500 a couple of years ago!

I think $1500 for a set is a bit expensive.

i would be careful buying reps, because some people have had problems with vibrations and bending them i would make sure everything is ok!! other than that if your getting 20in wheels used with used tires for 1500 i would talk him down.

1500 might be a good deal. It all depends on the conditions of the rims and tires.
As for the vibration, it can be a hit or miss. Some people are happy and some aren't. So I would do what lightfytr sugggested, ask the seller to let you mount them first and test them out first. Good luck!

Miro reps run ~1K, set of 4 tires (generals or falken 452's) $600-$800
So if in fact they are miro M6 reps...you should be good to go....
Does the seller have an e60 as well...what's the offset...you might need hub rings if he doesn't have an e60?
