Where to buy 20" 214 wheels?
 
I bought an alpine white 09 4.8 today and take delivery next week. My dealer tried locating a car with the 20" wheels, but couldn't find one with the color combo I wanted (alpine white/black). I was hoping to get a set of rims by the time I take delivery.

I read as many threads as I could find on replicas vs. oem. Seems like Morristown BMW has the best deal on OEM wheels only ($1,700?), what are my choices for replicas? Is there any discernible difference?

Thanks!

Contact LI-X5. He has 215's 21" for sale with TPMS. Its a sweet deal. 21" is the way to go imo. Congrats on your X

I will keep them in mind, but I prefer the look of the 214 and the 20" tires are much more reasonable. Thanks.

You mentioned you BOUGHT (not leased) a 4.8, have you seen a live 21" wheel with 325/30's on the rear? Its a beast. All i'm sayin is dont short change yourself over a few bucks. Do your homework then decide;)

I have seen both and prefer the look of the 214, thanks though.

I bought mine from Wheels and caps (Ebay) $699 for the set.
They match the size and look of OEM 214's, and most important, no steering wheel vibration or shimmy.

Anyone try these:

20" BMW Replica 5 Y-Spoke Style Wheel Package (Toyo):eBay Motors (item 170360730708 end time Jul-28-09 21:12:07 PDT)

This the right offset?

I replied to your PM about my personal experience with my vendors... but this ebay deal looks pretty good... about the same price I ended up paying in total with separate packages. The specs on the rims look the same as mine. I would take this over doing it the way I did.

Luck of the draw, I had a problem with 2 of their rims - 1 out of round, 1 warped, which they've rectified, but I had to end up paying full price for one of them (long story).

I plan on having them installed at the dealer, so hopefully if there is a problem they catch it then.

Anyone else to consider beside wheels and caps and IRG?
