I'm thinking of purchasing summer wheels and tires for my 530XI and have noticed the BMW replicas offered by several manufacturers. Where did you get yours? Did you research different brands and if so do you have any insight as to who has the better quality wheels?
Thanks! and you car looks great!

Actually, I asked these wheels from different dealers, but it seemd that they were kind of hard to get. So I picked them up where I could find them.
Wheel finishing is ok, and the color is right. Couldn't find the manufacturer, but thy are made in Italy. (Saw one set which were "normal-light-alu-rim-colored" - Fugly...)
Total price for the set, Tyres & Wheels was 1880?. Prices not separated in the invoice. I'm probably thinking 800? for wheels and rest on tires???
Did not think other sizes, stayd in factory recommendation...
Oh, and about tinting.... We can't put tint in front windows at all in Finland, and I think it sucks.....

Did you look at getting 285/30 in rear?
With 285's the car would be slower in acc,
but would top higher.
