!@#$% cant believe this
 

today i was driving around to local shops looking for 87's sure enough i get to one 5 min from my house a set of staggered 20 rep 87's sitting there! the guy said that a client had purchased them and they put them on the car they didnt look right at all i asked him how much he wanted for rims and tires he said 1800 i told him i wouldnt pay 1800 because they were mounted and if we could work something out. he said no this and that and he has to send them back in 2 days i said i might be able to drop a deposit off if hell do 1500 but im not doing 1800. story ends with him saying no so i didnt bother. those 87s were sexy though :(

That suckks man!!

yeah i really wanted them plus he wanted a 600 dollar deposit.

Yea those rims are very nice would've been lucky if the deal worked out.

Were the tires brand new? Isn't the price for a set of brand new 20" 87 replicas around $800?

I got my OEM 20" 87's for $1,500 with tires that lasted for 8 months.

Yes the tires were brand new three ofthe rims were stilll wrapped

So these are OEM 87's?? Buy the darn things!

replica

wow :yikes: , where did you buy yours from?

I was lucky enough to be online at the time he posted the thread. The rims are in PERFECT condition.

Rims 87's 20 inch
 

I was also looking for some 87's for our x5 to replace the 19" Y wheels. I found a guy looking to sell his MINT condition Replicas with some worn tires for $400 but he was 3.5 hours away. I thought that the rears were bald(20%) and the fronts were decent (50%) of the diamaris tires. I tried to get him to deliver to me up in Seattle, but he said he would just see if anyone local was interested. To make a long story short, I headed out to get them the next day.

8 Hours later, I had them Mounted them on the car and they look sweet. Keep looking for these rims as they are getting more and more available especially with the replicas out there. Mine say BMW stamped on the outside of the rim, but I doubt they are OEM.

Good luck.

Do they say "BMW" or "BWM" ??

Knockoffs

HAHA. thats funny. I looked at them carefully and the do in fact say BWM. Reading it upside down and backwards it reads BMW. I knew they were knockoffs when I purchased them, but at least they are in perfect condition and tires will last through the summer and save my 19" new tires from 4-5 months of wear.

You aren't kidding!!!!

LOL Yeah...that's the easiest way to tell if they are OEM or Replicas.

PSKI215 could you PM me I am dying to know which shop in the Philly area was giving you a hard time.

The reps generally dont have the correct stampings, or any at all....you dont even have to look that close to tell. Also, the center cap is a dead giveaway.
