While not exact replica (no BMW logo, etc) these mfrs have very similar style and several are truely "high end - quality" vendors; HRE (840R, 540R, 540), AXIS (Supermesh), Maya (STM), Monet (Classical), TSW (Kyalami), Hamann, Breyton (Spirit), Ace (Klassic), BBS (LM), ASA (AR1), MHT (C10) and so on. RD Sport has a S-4, and C-4 style that is a little thicker in places with slightly different look.

Then with the "High" side on the FAKE wheel itself, does that present a issue with balancing?

None of these should have any problem, balancing. Obviously some are better than others (HRE for example) and a lot more expensive (HRE for example). Nothing wrong with the 101 in my estimation, however, some of these guys have different finishes, lighter weight, stronger, etc. Yet others are of lesser quality, may be heavier, etc. Takes a lot of research, ask questions, etc. to ferret out exactly what you need. Some may not have the exact offset you need, while others mfrs are so good they even compensate in offset for extra wide wheels, knowing what clears brake calipers, wheel lips, etc.

Well what you say about your FAKE wheel might be true in some cases it may be the Latest & Greatest ince sliced bread!, but I just purchase a brand new set of 18inch BMW Parellel M Replica (FAKE) wheel from: "THE WHEEL EXCHANGE" and I have had nothing but problems with them from day one! (SEE MY POST BEWARE OF THE WHEEL EXCHANGE)

(I had to spend over $100.00 just to the Balancing better by the with 14 lb or less per using the wheel Hunter GSP 9700 "ROAD FORCE" scheme, and my e60 still does not ride BMW Perfect, like it once did a couple of months ago with the OEM's!)

Now I am trying to get one of the Replica's wheel does not match the other three, swaaped out with "JOE" at "THE WHEEL EXCHANGE" with no sucess!! (SEE POST here at the forum: BEWARE OF THE WHEEL EXCHANGE!

Because of the way I was treated and now can see their (FAKE) BMW REPLICA WHEELS flaws, Personally I am turned off of anything that is not factory BMW OEM WHEELS, and BMW Owners beware of these fake BMW Replica Wheels ! Remember before your talked into buying that these imposters by no means our BMW OEM wheels that go on our fine Bimmer, Yes you can save a few bucks $$$ going this route, but you could very well loose in the long run like I did, and no one to talk to about their warranty policy for these BMW FAKE Replica wheels! Sure they will write it down on the www, but be sure to read the fine print, I have found out in my case basically they will indeed sell you a set of BMW FAKE Replica wheels, but if anything goes wrong as soon as they are installed on your fine BMW and hit the payment, then they are considered USED and your Wheels!

I am saving my money and buy the real thing: BMW OEM wheels from my BMW here in GA or from Chapman BMW in Scottsdale AZ with their Excellent Prices! Chapman BMW OEM Wheels Scottsdale AZ

Good lord, ease up. These are wheel manufacturers. None of which claim to be selling BMW replicas. Some of them actually make the BMW OEMs you want to buy now. I'm sorry you have had your troubles with this re-seller but you've got it in every thread you touch. It's getting a little tiresome seeing it everywhere. I think we've got the picture by now - the WHEEL EXCHANGE SUCKS

LOL, I know what you mean, I too find it very tiresome, especially when I see and read those here BMW FAKE & REPLICA Wheel Companies ads thats pasted all over our BMW forums, trying to promote their BMW FAKE and REPLICA Wheels, and say they are also (Most of the time), made by the same manufacturer, and other using selected words, i.e.: how in "most" cases are just as "about" as good as BMW OEMs, but a whole lot cheaper $$$, and how they too "Most of the time" will stand behind there BMW FAKE - REPLICA Wheel product.

I wish I would had seen an actual testimony written by a BMW FAKE - REPLICA Wheel customer, (not an employee), before I bought the BMW FAKE REPLICA Wheel for my new e60 530i. But I listen to the wrong one, "THE WHEEL EXCHANGE" employee that convinced me with some of the same type wheel jargon that other wheel companies rep's have said at the BMW forum, in fact it sounded now as I read some of these replies to my postings: word for word!

I think it is about time that us real BMW owners here at the forum read another TRUE experience side about some of the REAL problems and real appearance issues with this one wheel company cost me, many, many $$$$ and my time, and might cost them too if they choose to go that route, and if they do just be careful,,,but for me I will now Always buy the best for my BMW in this case: THE BMW OEM Factory Wheels, from a real BMW dealer, not no third party online wheel company "want-a-be!".

I'm looking at the 101's a bit differently. I think they're too "busy" and cluttered. I imagine they'd be high maintenance too with all the nooks and crannies, etc. Finally, I think the center hub cap looks cheap and plasticy.

Although it's more common, I really do like the 124's that came with the car...

Thanks Rudy!

I am considering that one BMW OEM 124 along with the 18inch BMW OEM 135M right now, that I can buy the BMW OEM 135M Wheel for about: $425.00 per wheel form Pacific BMW.

Raymond Presley

PS,
If you notice I am for sure this time buying: BMW OEM WHEELS! No more BMW Fake Replica Wheels from what company? (Jk LOL)

Presley348

I have about decided on the BMW OEM 135M from the older style BMW OEM #37. The 135M is a new design cool looking M wheel!
