Wonder if they'd hook up the price a little more if there were several of us ready to commit to purchase? I'd like to get a set of these myself. Anyone have expierence with this seller?

I've bought two sets - 87s and 132s - from these guys and have had a good experience both times. Search my posts for more info. Good luck!

They are fine. It's funny you can tell they are BMW replica's because the letter near the center caps are backwards because of the mold they made of the OEM.

BMW Centers meaning they will fit the OEM centers. Some replica's require that you use their center caps which are slightly larger than OEM's.

I have a set of 87's and I think they are great. Since I am not worried about taking a corner and tracking the car its of no use for me to buy OEM for three times the price. The quality is there and the finish is great.

Go for it. FYI the concavity of the rears are not as extreme as the OEM's. The offsets are the same if not a little bit better.
