Advice on replica 405M wheels on 335d
Okay, so I've found some replica 405M wheels direct from manufacturer in China for a silly low price. I'm working on the basis that replica wheels bought from a UK seller will have come from China anyway so I'm just cutting out the middle man.
Are there any particular problems with replica wheels or are they usually alright? Also I'd assume best wheels would be 20x8 front and 20x8.5 rear to match BMW 405 wheels. Thanks in advance! |

finish usually isn't as durable, typically heavier. I run replicas in the winter but thats about it... they last 2-3 years then start to look like shit

I'd be very wary of those wheels, and the old adage "you get what you pay for" most definitely applies. |

I'd be careful. I've bought some aftermarket stuff directly from China via eBay and have been disappointed with the quality on all of them. You won't be able to return them if the quality is crap. Go for a used set of OEM or a used reputed aftermarket set.
