Replica M2 wheels

[Average Jae]

I need to get some winter tire/ wheel set before the snowfall in michigan.

been looking around and saw the M2 replica rims, which look like the 3 series sports package rims. the local tire place is selling em for around $160. here's a web link

i was thinking of putting that together w/ dunlop winter sport m2 215 or 205 H 17. profile depending on the width..

any experiences w/ the replica brand rims? it's so hard shopping for rims, either get ugly cheap ones, or descent but also somewhat costly ones.. for damn winter rims.. altho it is like 5 months in michigan, so i want it to look at least half descent.

Get the real thing. Or go get some normal wheels that dont have to be sporty because do you need sport wheels in snow?

real ones are um.. lil too expensive.

it's hard to find rims that i like for under 200.. and as much as i dun want expensive winter rims, i don't want to get some rims that i dun like, which i'll have to look at for almost half a year.. damn michigan winter!!

I just hate the fake crap. Its cheezy to have the fake wheels that are saposed to be something dif. I rather have real not so good looking wheels than the fake stuff.

Are you planning on buying expensive 'real' wheels? There is good reason for 'fakes'

 

[ooo000HITMAN000ooo]

No why do you need fake wheels?

Go get some of the wheels of an other bmw like that one guy did that has and older 3 and put new 3 wheels on it and got them for a good price.

sorry i dun share your enthuism for authentic stuff. when the authentic m2 rims cost $420 per, and the replica costs around $160, unless i have money oozing out of me, why the hell would i get the real thing? even if i did? esp these are my current rims love the way they look, but i'm not about to ruin em in the snow.

i wouldn't sleep any better at night because i picked up a not as good looking "real" rims, since i got the real thing. unless of course the replicas are of inferior quality and the rims end up causing problems for me.. that's what this whole thread was about in teh first place. if the replicas sacrifice quality over similarily priced rims, then that will make my decision..

Than slap the money down and get some OEM BMW rims with a nice stamp on them if it makes you feel better.....if you have the real cash get some HRE rims and screw the OEM BMW rims.

My replica rims are just as good as OEM and alot cheaper. Replica rims are not like buying a fake Rolex watch....LOL....I like mine.

Just my 2 cents.
