You haven't posted a signature, but I assume you have a non-xi E60. Like everyone has stated, there's no comparison between OEM and the reps. It all comes down to money... and in my situation, whether the OEMs will fit. In my case -- I have an xi -- the offsets are different, so I had to go with the reps.

That being said, I have a set of the 166 reps from OEMWheels+ (the eBay sellers) and I am very happy with them. My entire setup, including General Exclaim UHPs, cost me about $1500. I think I got a lot for my money.
