I have a nice 17" set off my 06 X5 sitting in my garage for sale. Close to perfect condition. I'll sell them for $400 plus shipping from KC.

I swapped my OEM 18's for some replica 20" wheels with Toyo proxes tires and it rides almost the same even better with the stock RFT. Went for a 1k mile trip and no vibrations or any issues at all, my wife even commented on the better ride...lol. I guess it depends on the quality of the replica wheels you get, maybe I got lucky

I had some replica wheels in the past. No real issues. However, I have read about a lot of cracked wheels.

My 20" reps drive nicer than my oem 18"s with RFTs. Make sure your rep comes from a good seller who won't tell you to F off if something were to occur.
