Anyone knows how good the product from ModBargins, in particular wheels? They are offering the M5 wheels for $1,100 but they don't state if they are OEM or replica but the picture looks like the OEM. Your advice please!

My Ride: '05 545i Sport - MANUAL - Jet Black/Black
20" Miro Time Attacks, Bimmian Carbon Kidneys
Not to be a dick, but my experience was slightly irritating. They don't have their own shop, so they are just a really inconvenient middle man. I AM happy with the Miro wheels that I ordered through them, even though they ordered the wrong size front tires the first time around. They weren't dicks on the phone or anything, but once you order, you pretty much aren't dealing with them anymore. I might look somewhere else...
EDIT: Just noticed you're in Canada. Maybe you'll have an easier time. I did "local" pick up.

Yeah, definitely reps. I bought my M6 reps for my Z4 from modbargains mounted with tires. The wheel/tire combo came VERY WELL PACKAGED. In fact, we were laughing how much packing material they actually used. Great deal if you ask me. I'd definitely order from them again.
BTW, I'm NOT affiliated with modbargains

OEMs will run you atleast 2k +
Garry at Newport can get 'em for you for well under that (without tires).

yeah this was my experience too. Roger was great, but They shipped out the wheels without center caps and one tire was mounted backwards. They really dropped the ball and promised to fix the issue but that was almost a month ago now.
