I guess your challenge is that you just joined the forum and that you are not the actual seller.

Members here like to deal with people they know or have other members vouch for them. Selling on behalf of the seller is just making it even harder for members to know who they are dealing with. Just my $.02

Don't mean to threadcrap. GL with the the Group Buy.

 

I actually wish that some here could validate the "good" sellers so people would have a proven option with replicas.
The problem is that we are having mixed results, and while this board is great with providing answers to questions, we have not tried to distinguish good sellers from bad sellers. This is probably very hard to do because sometimes a bad product does not prove a bad seller, or vice versa.
We have even seen some good sellers go "bad" after two years (causing FBI investigations, etc.).

If this Group Buy turns into something good, I hope that everyone will vouch for the seller.
On the other hand, if the replicas are bad, I hope that everyone publicizes their bad experience.

I bought my old replicas from Lake Shore Wheels about three years ago.

 

That's why I mentioned that I was an active member on E90post. 100% selling feedback, and very active in the wheel and tires forum. That's the only reputation I could offer you. Its not like I'm coming out of nowhere.

 

Hey guys...

Here's the link to the official Group Buy for the 172's.

If you have any questions, you can contact them by phone or by email. all the information is there.

 

Will he mount tires on the rims before shipping them to me? If yes, what tire options are available and recommended for a 2008 535i (max width without rubbing issues) for summer driving (no winter/snow)? I do not have the sports package so it has the standard suspension. I may lower the suspension in the near future. Please confirm details and total cost. Thanks!

 

I don't believe this group buy is for wheel and tire package. Anyway, the optimal tire sizes (19") for your car are 245/35/19 (front) - 275/30/19 (rear). I have the same sizes for my OEM M167 rims.

 

The group buy is for wheels only as they do not sell tires. Shipping to Toronto is only $55cdn! Since you're from Canada there are no brokerage or duty fees, which is definitely a bonus! You are however responsible for 5% GST.

So for a set of staggered 19" your looking at a total of $918.75cdn shipped, tax included. This price include 4 center caps, 4 ///M decals, 4 hub-centric rings and 4 valve stems.

Contact them directly to get on their group buy list! Their phone number and email can be found in their signature of their group buy link:
