hey guys.. I bought these a few weeks ago thinking they were OEM but it turned out they were replica. The company told me that they will take them back because it was their mistake and I'm just waiting for the truck to come get them. But in the meantime, I thought I'd see if anyone wanted them before they get picked up.

they are completely reconditioned with the gunmetal painted insides. They are staggered 19". The finish is very nice and they are pretty light. I'm still debating if I should keep them just cause they are so cheap. Anyways, I paid $1000 for all 4. if you want them, let me know

To be of service to other forum members, who was the seller and what did they say or do that made you believe they were Original BMW Wheels?

I get a wholesale discount and a cash discount... and I've seen other reconditioned OEM for $400... so thought it made sense.

the wheels were from keystone. they told me they were OEM and I'm just assuming they made an honest mistake. They've always been good and as soon as I was 100% that they weren't OEM, they said they would take them back. So my plan is to return them and wait on OEM's... In the meantime I was just seeing if anyone else wanted these

I am sorry but keystone is full of s***... their driver didnt know how to drive their trucks and scratched my car... i believe they dont carry any oem ones... so they are basically playing game with you

Do you know what brand the reps are? Most members here recc Miro reps...might help with your sale if you can clarify who actually made these wheels...

What's so bad about reps? I would like M6 rims for my car. And I was going to go the rep route, but maybe not now...

Miro M6 reps are the only ones that seem to not have vibration or bending/integrity issues

A number of members run them without problems/complaints...
