Hello.
We have received a lot of inquiries from E60 5-Series enthusiasts and we have decided to become fully active on 5Series.net!
For those who haven't heard of our company, we are a manufacturer of wheels for BMW vehicles. We introduced our CSL wheel on September of last year based on the market demand that we saw for a CSL replica wheel that resembles more accurately the original wheel as far as overall quality and design. We have been in business for almost 4 years now and have manufactured several wheel designs including our first BMW entry with our 19" 162 that proved to be an outstanding wheel, incredibly strong and with a very durable finish.
Our wheels are manufactured in Taiwan by one of Taiwan's most reputable factory which uses only Italian made low-pressure casting machines to manufacture only low-pressure cast wheels as opposed to gravity casting which are inferior in construction. They especialize in the OEM market only and thus carry very stringent quality standards with over 50% of their production reaching the US-market. They carry ISO Certifications, Japan VIA and JWL Certifications and most importantly Germany TüV approval.
The advantages of low pressure die casting process are several :
- higher yield achievable
- reduction of machining costs
- excellent control of process parameters
- good metallurgical quality
- leads to an optimal use of the aluminum
- excellent mechanical and technological properties of the castings.
Disadvantages of gravity die-casting:
- High porosity rate
- High absorption of impurities
- Less dense material which results in a heavier wheel to be able to achieve the required load rating
- Very high process variations which leads to more defective units
In essence, Low-Pressure Cast provides a wheel that is much stronger and lighter. A stronger wheel will be more resistant to bending and by been lighter you`ll improve the performance of your vehicle.
Our offsets is also designed exclusively for the vehicles we represent. For the 5-Series we have a full range of offsets from 19x8.5" ET +15mm, 19x8.5" ET +35mm, 19x9.5" ET +20mm & 19x9.5" ET +35mm.
We currently have two styles, the CS7 and the SF-71.
19" SF-71 pictured above. Check out the Alufelgen Flickr Photostream for more photos.

Our customer service ranks #1 among the vendors and our customers can attest to that. Our wheels come with a 2-year warranty against manufacturer's defects which includes shipping from and to the customer. Most services issues are taken cared of within the first 24-hours. We also allow our customers to purchase wheels individually and not as a set in case they need to get a replacement. We also provide a recurring customer discount in the event you`ll like to replace your set.
Thank you and hope we are welcomed!
