Has anyone heard or used this website to puchase Replica BMW rims. I love the Star Spoke 128, but OEM BMW rims is only in 19 inch. They have the same rim, but Chrome and in 20".

Would you buy from this website?

Larger wheels are more prone to balance problems. A little variation in weight can cause shimmy and wobbles. Chroming just creates more weight irregularity. I would learn more before I get 20" wheel from an unproven source. Good luck.
