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.
I had the tires shipped from Tirerack & had everything installed locally. Tire install + swap TPMS + remount old tires on old wheels = $150.00

Ebay (but it was a reputable seller) Wheel weight was ~26lbs. I can't tell any difference in performance.

Thanks! Yes unfortunately the ladder is a necessary evil in the garage!

ok guys, heres mine.
235/35/19 8.5front (fits perfectly)
275/30/19 9.5rears (rubbing over every turn and bump) so had to go back to 255/30/19 rears and fits like a charm. also the staggered 437M make the rears look widened and flushed out. im also on H&R supersport suspension so the car drops very nicely and not too overdrastic.

Looks great!

But why 235/30-19 front? That's a skinny sidewall and the diameter is about 6% shorter than OEM for F30.

Looks amazing terminator! I'm ordering the 19 x 8.5 and 19 x 10 soon and can't wait!!

Quick question:

Were you rubbing because it's lowered? I'm on stock suspension and won't be lowering the car and am planning on running 245-40-19 and 275-35-19 tires

Also, is it just me or the way pictures are taken, but do Terminators replicas seem to be much closer to oem in terms of looks and color?

the wheels and tyre package came as one. the front tyres didnt look much different to stock.

on stock suspension, there shouldnt be any rubbing unless you go over a "massive" pothole or dip. because mine are lowered, there was the slightest annoying rubbing.

This! I want to know the source of terminator's wheels, as the gloss black/high-gloss machined face is what I would want.

As a follow-up - terminator335i confirmed these are OEM 437M wheels, not replicas.

Ahh. No wonder. Then those specs should be 19 X 9 and 19 X 10 and not what he said. That's what confused me.

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.





I didn't see this exact model of wheel in OEM Concepts Website - can someone link me?

Also, I have an 320xi - does the fact that I had 18" OEM wheels mean that I cannot increase the size to 19s with these reps? I don't mind having square wheels vs staggered (or is staggered possible)

Mine are eBay replicas - not OEM Concepts.

You can still do 19s.

What kind of width and offset do I need if trying to put 19s on the 320xi?

Square setup:
8.5x19" ET 35

Staggered setup:
F: 8.5x19" ET 35
R: 9.5x19" ET 40

The offset values above can vary a few mm and still fit fine.

I ordered the 19 x 8.5 ET 35 and 19 x 10 ET 45. I think it should be a nice flush fit. if not, I guess ill have to drop the car

I ordered the black ones actually. I like those a lot more than the silvers.
