Depends how you look at it.

£2200 is for wheels and tyres.
The pirelli tyres alone are worth at least £1K, so wheels have cost £1200 with TPMS if from BMW.
Even if you completely kill the tyres, used OEM 405s are popular and quite rare so tend to be worth around £1K without tyres if in half decent condition.
Total cost of OEM 405 ownership = approx £1200

20" 405 Reps with fairly decent tyres cost you £1400 (£600 wheels + £800ish tyres)
Assuming you also completely wear out the tyres the wheels will be worth at most £400 if you wanted to sell them.
Total cost of rep ownership = approx £1k

So if buying new you only save about £200 to have replica wheels that are much heavier and more likely to have issues.

Or buy used OEM and they are practically free
