What's the deal with the wheels on finishlinewheels dot com, they claim to be OEM but are sold way way cheaper than MSRP? Is this a rip-off site... someone please advise before I buy something from there. I am interested in some 3-series OEM wheels, but want them only if they are the authentic kind BMW uses.

Someone give me their opinion... thanks.

I took a look at site, when you look at the description it will specify OEM or replica. I am looking to replace my rims as well, I am not sure if I will go OEM or knock off.

OEM

Size: 19" x 8"
Finish: MACHINED FACE (OEM RIM)
Style: ALLOY WHEEL, 19 X 8, 5 SPOKE, FRONT
Dealer Wheel Price: <STRIKE>$400.00</STRIKE>
Discount Wheel Price: $349.00

REPLICA

Size: 19" x 8"
Finish: MACHINED FACE (REPLICA)
Style: ALLOY WHEEL, 19 X 8, 5 SPOKE, FRONT
Dealer Wheel Price: <STRIKE>$400.00</STRIKE>
Discount Wheel Price: $278.99

They are OEM that have been refinished. You have no idea how bad they were before repair.

Aha! The keyword is "refinished." I'm not going to take my chances at this place. Thanks a lot for the insight.

Good lookin out!!!
