Not sure which wheel you're saying are knock offs of knock offs cause Breyton is a BMW tuner and their wheels are their own proprietary designs.
Thanks Tony

They could almost pass for Riverside Trafficstar (Maya) wheels too.

The look more like Breyton Spirit replicas to me,

and the prize goes to... mrfva! I did a little more research and found out who sold these wheels. The guy @ Nitrous Garage says they are indeed Breyton Spirit replicas.

Unfortunately, I bought my E60 with these wheels already installed and didn't do my homework before my purchase.

I'm a little bummed, but I'll make the best of it.

No, I love the way they look. They are actually what drew me to the car in the first place. But yea, just a little bummed because they're replicas.

I'm sure they'll hold up fine for daily driving.

They look nice, even the forged wheel companies use this 10 split mesh pattern.

I was leaning towards this style for my next set of wheels, but changed at the last minute when I ordered.
