Default Help Locating This Type of Wheels Badly... Thanks!

I am desperately looking for the Replica wheels style 345 from a 2013 M5 F10 model. One of the wheel has cracked. I originally bought a set 2 years ago from OEM Wheels Plus and currently not carrying them anymore.

Color is Gunmetal, size is 19 inches 9.5 with 35 Offset since i have an XI.

Any help anyone can offer will be greatly appreciated.


Thank you in advance.

Is there any manufacturer's stamp on the back of the rim that might clue you to who made them? The other option is to contact OEMWheels+ to see if someone could research who their supplier was. Good luck!

Oh thanks! that is the exact one on same color.

I think the wheel shop cracked it when the guy was pounding with a rubber mallet behind the wheel trying to get it loose when i brought it in for a new set of tires.

He was hitting it very hard and i heard a loud stomped like he hit the rim instead of the rubber

Anyway, i already sent them an email yesterday and crossing my fingers.

I hate to buy a new set of new rims since i am very picky, took me months to pull a trigger 2 years ago on purchasing this specific type.

I looked at Miro style and not really digging it. At this time, i am still hoping for a miracle that this style can be purchase somewhere in North America.

Thank you in advance for any lead finding this elusive wheel style 345.

N.P. I know exactly how you feel. I purchased my Style 166 reps from OEMWheels+ and am very disappointed that they no longer carry BMW wheels.

That's always an issue when you buy replicas... especially for xi cars. Even if you decided to bite the bullet and buy an OEM wheel replacement, you couldn't because they don't come in the offset you need.
