+1. Aftermarket wheels is a pretty interesting topic.
In the past I was all for them, especially AC Schnitzers. Better looks and performance. However, things have changed quite a bit from then. BMW OEM wheels have definitely come along way (as far as looks) and there are now so many aftermarket wheel makers where "quality" is really questionable.
At the end, if you know the quality of the aftermarket wheel is good and you like the styling and/or price better. Then go for it.
I really like the current BMW OEMs.. except maybe some Alpina's or Hartage. ACS and Hamann have really lost it's appeal to me as far as styling.
