Nothing wrong with those. To be honest, just about all the ones you buy from eBay where they are supposed to be factory original but "refurbished/refinished/remanufactured" are actually fakes made in China. They look identical in every way. They are a little softer though so they may bend easier if you have a big impact. However, at the price point (150 to 180) they are unbeatable. I bought quite a few of those in the past for my E90. At least this seller is selling them as replicas and not as refurbished originals.

Oh, and they don't even have the 18x7.5 but they do have 18x8.0 and also sell them in 16's, 17 and 19's apparently, which is interesting. And, their offsets are all jacked up versus oem. There's way better replicas out there that make it nearly impossible to tell that they're fakes.

Do you have more info on that?

I was quoted just over $300 (incl. shipping) per wheel by a dealer known for good pricing.

I was talking to the guys out in Mechanicsburg PA with tax and shipping it was right in line with your price.

Funny, they quoted me about 30 bucks less for the rears... but still too high so I passed.

FYI, I test fitted the 17'' X 8'' Replika R141A last week, and they work.

I'll be running a square setup with 225 Nokians.
