I am in the market for a set of inexpensive 17" wheels for winter tires to fit my 06 530Xi. I am currently running 135M with 43mm offset. I have found some 166 replica wheels but have recently heard some bad things about replicas in general but not sure why. An alternate choice is ASA JH3. Which choice is better?

ASA is a brand of BBS so you cannot go wrong, no replicas will do the job as some good branded
