    I dont think you want those wheels. I would not buy any reproduction wheels, only buy oem, the repos dont look as nice they are heavier and are usually way out of balance requiring even more weight to be put on them to balance. in short I would get some of those but off an actual M5 anything else will not do your bmw justice. love the disign though almost got some for mine before I found these bbs

    I have replica rims, and they balanced out quite easily. And they aren't orders of a magnitude heavier than the real thing either. The biggest issues with replica wheels will probably be finish quality (and durability) and strength (especially in areas with horrid road conditions.)

    You're not doing your car any kind of injustice by not forking over $2,000+tires for new wheels as long as you realize what you're getting and what you paid for it.

    540 is heavy and you may bend them if your roads are bad... I have bent a set of oem.... once they get weak, they go fast!

    but for the price, it could be worth it , replace when needed!
    they will look hot on the car!

    edit: we have extremely bad roads, with holes your children could hide in!

    I have replicas on 2 cars and used to have them on the e30 too, haven't bent one yet. I did bend 3 oem 16" wheels on my e36 though.

    My replicas all balanced out perfectly fine. I couldn't justify paying more than double for oem wheels.
