OEM wheels from finishlinewheels.com?

Hi Folks,
Has anyone purchased OEM wheels from finishlinewheels.com?
They have the 168s at 279/389 for F/R.
The same from the local stealer (chapman bmw) is 775/875.
Morristown has them for 581/681.

Such a price difference make me wonder if finishlinewheels has OEM wheels.
Any suggestions/recommendations.

History - I found the inside of my right front has slight bend in it - causing vibrations at 90-95mph (appear at 90mph, dissappear at 95mph). Don't know when/how it happened. Discount tire says they cannot balance the wheels 'perfectly' and attribute the vibrations to that. This wheel also has a really slow pressure loss.
Any suggestions/recommendations are appreciated.

Thanks.

hey noworyz,
I had the same prob with my right front wheel on my benz. Bought a wheel from finish line and it is perfect. If it's not oem, it can't be noticed. Wheel is true and looks and preforms excellent. 165 vs 490 was worth a try for me and glad I did.

Hope this helps
