Mod Bargain sare flogging M6 BMW rims with centers and all that look to be miro's but they are not. They are more expensive and look better. I want to know who can tell me if an offset of et20 on a 19x8.5 inch rim will work all round on my 525i? I do not want 9.5's on the rear. Too wanky for Aus.

Miros have a cheap black looking recesses section while these appear more light grey or titanium in finish. Look more like the OEM in finish.

One quick way to tell the difference between the Miro's is what was stated by Cook above. They have a darker paint on the inner part of the wheel, and the rim's around the outer edge is not as thick as OEM. There's also a groove along the inner portion of the OEM wheel that is absent on the Miro's.

This semi-circular groove on the OEM below is absent on the reps, and the other edges coming off the lip are more curved/beveled as well, compared to the reps. Plus, the outer OEM edges are bit thicker (pic 2 shows it well)...like I said above.
The 74.1mm center bore worries me the most with the Miro's.....need hubcentric rings on the lower offset reps used on the non-xi models.

..and the OEM "M" stickers are smaller. 1 fell off of my wheel, so I went to BMW to replace it and noticed they're noticably smaller then the ones on my Miro's (OEM set of 4 cost me $60). I'm either going to replace all of them....
