Thanks!

Not trying to hijack your thread - but just thought it may be helpful to those searching based on the title. Spent a looooong time trolling here looking at wheel combo's before my purchase.

On mine -

Front: 19x8.5 +35 Bridgestone Potenza S-04 Pole Position 225/40

Rear: 19x9.5 +40 Same but 255/35

Stock 335i M-sport suspension

~1000 miles so far and no issues.

Really need a set of 19" black glossy 473m reps for my winter set. with some Michelin Alpin tires. Staggered. Can one steer me right?

Here's my car. I live in North Carolina an so snow and ice shouldn't be a issue but I have a staggered setup with summer tires and Rwd.
Help.

Looks fantastic. Thanks for the great angles. I am close to pulling the trigger on 405M forged 20" wheels but maybe these are the route to go. I've always loved the current M3/M4 wheel design. I do fear the 'replica' aspect and durability. I've owned replica wheels before and they were OK but it seems to be more of a "luck of the draw" situation.

Are you happy with the tire sizes you chose? I would think 235/40 F 265/35 R would better match the added wheel width but your setup looks good. I wouldn't want a stretched tire look.

Do you have any more shots from the side (other than the one you posted above)?

OEMconcept - what finish are these available in? Do you offer the gloss black/machined look? What I've seen is more of a satin black/machined.

I thought about those tire sizes, but the selection/prices weren't fantastic (at least on Tirerack). For me - the rears are perfect. The fronts are "slightly" stretched, but only appear so from certain angles. Overall I would choose them again.

I've never purchased replica wheels and agree with your opinion. I just really like the design of the wheel. I was somewhat reserved, but I don't track my car & my daily commute is 9 miles. I thought I might as well give the replicas a try. After purposely finding some decent potholes - so far so good. Keep in mind this is NC - the winters are warm & the roads are respectable.

@platty,

Perfect setup. With each photo you post I'm moving further and further from the 405M setup I was targeting, but am still considering both.

My biggest reservation is the replica aspect. The price certainly helps get over that. Did you buy a full setup or have the pieces shipped to a tire shop and the TPMS swapped over locally? Thanks again for the info and photos. Really sweet setup.

Where did you buy your reps? Do you know how much each wheel weighs?

They come in a satin black Machined with a double dark tint clear. It's an amazing finish as you can see from the pics!
