Hi E60.net members. Kindly help me decide which wheel to get for my platinum gray metallic '10 528i x drive. I am strongly considering the OEM M Double Spoke 135 and the VMR V710. I'd go 18" for Upstate NY driving, non-staggered set up. I've seen the replicas but not so sure about their reliability so I'll go either OEM or VMR which has good reviews from this forum.

Appreciate your vote. Thanks.

Strong thumbs up for the style 135 18's!! Considering them myself for my '07 503xi. I'd steer clear of the replica's not only because of dubious quality, but also availability in the future should you hit a juicy pot hole and ruin one.... If you're interested in doing a group buy, let me know!! Where in NY State are you? I'm in the Hudson Valley.

Will do. C's Bimmer. Thanks.

Looked at replicas as there are more choices but found affordable VMRs and some OEM with the right offset.

I love my VMR's!
And yes, do search C's posts on the subject. He's posted a wealth of information. I am one of his many students!
