Good feedback. Just have them spin the rims alone before mounting the tires. Also ask them what kind of warranty they will give you in writing.

I have had a few sets of replicarims. Not BMW rims, but I have never had a bad experience with aftermarket rims (knock on wood). I have it from a friend of mine that AFS make good rims so I went with this one...

They have given me A1 service and have great customer support on the phone. I will post pics and give you guys more feedback when I get them. Will be here on the 31st

Call their customer service number and check the details on their lifetime warranty, as long as it includes structural integrity, you're fine.

$200 for shipping is a little ridiculous INMO, shouldn't be more than $150 from CA. from UPS ground

Yes ride will be different. You're using a larger rim with a much wider tire therefore much more of the road is grabbed by the tire so any imperfections in the road can be felt easier then a smaller width tire.

The level of change noticed will be different if you're going from a 17 to 20, 18 to 20 or 19 to 20.

Once I saw that were a vendor at X5world that made it even better.

There is a slight difference in the ride IMHO but nothing drastic at all. I think all the looks, glares and stares I get make up for it.

I have purchased replacement OEM 19’s from Detroit Wheel and Tire. If you are not pressed about getting them yesterday, I would say check with them first.

They had inadvertently sent me a replica replacement for one of my wheels, and I noticed a huge difference in the weight. This was not an option for me as I wanted to keep the remaining OEM wheels, and it was going to cause major problems.

If they don’t have them in stoke they can get them. It is going to cost you perhaps an extra $20 per wheel, but I think its well worth it.
