I recently bought a 2004 525i and would like to replace the rims with some bigger factory replicas. Can anyone suggest a good site with quality rims. Thanks.

I know they are cheaper but you'll never know you might get that vibration problem too. It's a "hit & miss". NeRwEEzy 08-03-2007, 01:39 AM dont go with replicas. nothing can beat the quality of oem.

The last thing I'd want is to try and save a buck and have vibration while i drive. NeRwEEzy 08-04-2007, 03:02 AM check out e60.net also for info and sales.

I've had several sets of replica rims and have never experienced this - care to elaborate? supark 08-08-2007, 02:42 AM dont go with replicas. nothing can beat the quality of oem. broad statement and not really true - there are many replica makers that make quality pieces. Just make they are either TUV or JSA approved (though I believe TUV is a bit higher standard) and they have some sort of warranty.

Don Nguyen 08-10-2007, 02:11 PM Replica wheels aren't bad, especially if you go with a name brand. There are some slight advantages of a original wheel, but is it really worth the extra costs? Sometimes 2x, 3x, or even more of what a replica wheel costs? I have sold countless replica wheels without any problems. There are few minor ones here or there, but we guarentee all of our wheels will arrive free of defects from the manufacturer. If you were to ever bend one of our replica wheels, most likely you would have bent your OEM wheel as well. The weights of our replica wheels are also very competative with other similar wheels out there. Feel free to post/PM/e-mail me any questions you guys may have. Also check out the wheels that are available on on my site. -Don http://www.modbargains.com |
