ModBargains Wheel Replicas?
 
Thay are a sponsor here... So does anyone know how their wheels compare to BMW standard issue?

No way to independently verify the quality of the counterfeit/rep wheels....

Most of the time they are heavier and not as strong. Sometimes they are out of round even when new and bend very easily. Ask how I know......

PhilT3,

I looked into this a lot recently. After a LOT of research, I decided:

What I was not going to do:
1. I was not going to buy after-market wheels as there is not a single brand that people will vouch for them being as good as OEM
2. I was not going to buy refurbished OEM wheels as one has no idea what sort of repairs have been made to these
3. I didn't need new OEM wheels (as my truck is 4+ years old)

So I searched for the following in OEM "modern wheels" styles (e.g. 336, 300, 333)
1. New OEM take-offs of wheels+tires. I very nearly bought a set of these.
2. Used OEM wheels+tires in good condition. This is what I did buy. 336's with summer tires. (Bought used TPMS monitors and hub adapters for these X6 wheels.)

Thanks Brian!

I also decided I dont want anything but OEM.

Thanks!
