Wheels Style 214 or 215

I just wanted to see if anyone has used replicas style 214 or 215 on their car and what has been your experience.

Could you please also post where did you buy them from or the manufacturer?

I found a few of them on ebay going for $1700 for set of wheels+tires but don't know what to expect quality wise.

Thanks.

215

hi, you should put 215 black, they are expensive, but worth.
215 is the only wheel fit 325 tyres at rear.

brembo

from the local shop in Melbourne, they are making too much margin. I rather import the brake kits by myself from US. Any shops can suggest?
I been contacted with Polepositionusa.com the price not too bad. Are they famous in US?

I had a set of Y spoke, Style 214 with Dunlop Sport Maxx tires on my X5 that I sold for $3,200. They were brand new....

My buddy just bought an X6M and is selling his Style 300, 20"rims and tires for a little over 4K given they are brand new, rare and the newest style from BMW....its posted on the classifieds forum.....

To me its a waste of $$$$ to spend money on replica wheels which will in 90% cases get bent as soon as you hit the 10th pothole....or may even happen when you hit the 1st pothole....a set of 20" replicas cost close to $2,000...spend a little bit more and you get tires, rims, TPMS everything OEM and the quality that your ride deserves....but that is just me...
