Look around the forums. I've seen OEMS with tires for $3k or less more than once. That a lot better than this rep stuff.

Those are priced a bit on the high side for replica wheels, however those wheels are the exact same width as the factory 20" wheels. Most replica wheels are 9.5" wide in front, 10.5" wide in the rear. This really bothered me at first, but in the end thats what I went with and honestly due to the offsets used, you cannot tell a difference-in fact they use the same size tires.
I thought about what to do for weeks in regards to the Style 214 wheels. To be honest, I just wasn't going to spend $3000+ for OE wheels-I had gone the replica route on a set of Type 87's on my '02 X5 a few years ago and was more than happy with them. I went with a set of replica Style 214 wheels with Toyo S/T II tires from seller wheeltechtuning on ebay. Others had recommended him and I couldn't be happier with his service and the product. The cost was $1599 for wheels and tires mounted and balanced, plus $180 for new BMW TPM sensors, plus $225 for UPS Ground shipping for a total cost of $2004. I could have saved around $200 and bought everything separately and had them mounted and balanced locally, but I paid the extra for the convenience of not having to do that-iust swap the wheels and tires once they arrived and go. I'm not affiliated with the seller at all-just giving you my experience with him after all the research I did.

I picked up OE 214's from wheelsandcaps.com refurbished - they do a set of 4 staggered setup for a bit over 800 shipped. When I got them I double checked and they were genuine BMW with refinished faces, looked mint and saved me quite a bit, $1200 for OEM runflats and reuse your TPMs and you are in it for about 2k!
