Crazy Idea, what do you guys think ? (Wheels related)

Been lurking around for wheels but nothing I liked.. What do you guys think about these Miro's super aggressive (ET 18) on the X5 ?
I dont know if load rating will allow but any input (positive or negative) is equally appreciated

Here's the link:

All nice ... but all replicas.

Do your homework on quality, ability to balance etc.

Nothing wrong with replicas that come from reputable companies. Rota as an example has shown that a replica can be well designed, and strong.

Folks show pictures of cracked rota's all the time, in fact the same picture seems to keep popping up. Of which I've seen counters to that argument of cracked BBS and other japanese top dollar forged wheels.

Miro I've seen on other applications, they look okay I guess, but I'd research more on how wide spread they are in use, and make some assumptions from that on their reliability.

I am def going for replica bcoz OEM is just expensive, and like you said from a reputable brand but the real question is load rating for these MIROs that are for 7 series, they dont state theyre for X5 (need 1600 lbs Load cap I guess)
