You can get 87's on ebay all day...Actually, you can get a good deal on either of them...132's? They're like finding the Yeti....Probably have a better chance too...

Thanks For The Info! Is There A Easy Way Of Telling The Difference From Replicas Or Oem's. I Want Oem's But I Just Wondered If People Try To Sell Replicas As Oem's?

There have been quite a few threads on this - from what I remember , the OEM rims are actually lighter than replicas - I'd price around as I have experienced as much as $65 difference for the same wheel at different dealers

You might want to check with the internet parts department at Crevier BMW. They usually have the best prices on new OEM parts from a dealership.

Well for startes, Ive gotten many an ebay auction cancalled because Ive asked the question..From the outside, they pretty much look the same, but a coouple months, down the road you should have no problem distinguishing the two..

Anyway, they should be advertised as replicas if they indeed are...
