Need help with wheel source 2009 E70 Sport

The original style 227's on my 2009 E70 Sport have taken a beating on our rough roads and I've had to repair a couple twice, so it's time to replace them. I would like to retain the original look.

I have the 275/40/20 and 315/35/20 tire setup combination on 10 inch wide front wheels and 11.5 inch wide rear wheels, I think. I have done some searching on the net, but not coming up with decent info . Can anyone recommend a source for aftermarket replica's since the OEM's seem to be difficult to locate? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

No chance you can fix the wheels?
When I got my x5 the wheels were seriously scuffed and I had them resurfaced and repainted.

It's not just scuffs, I've had a couple of cracks in two of the wheels that caused the tires to slowly lose air pressure. I'm concerned that the wheels might be weakening structurally, especially since I'm also running RFT's. Just feel better replacing them, as I'm regularly north of 100 mph...not on the rough roads though!

I don't know that there are any truly reputable replica manufacturers. That's not to say there aren't quality ones out there though, just that by nature the more reputable wheel makers have their own products. You can google the style number and find a variety of sellers. Unless someone steps forward with advice you might just find one with a good warranty that seems trustworthy and give it a go.

I found the OEM's at a dealers. A bit more expensive, but I get to keep the original look. Thanks for the tip.
