Can't decide?

Looking at two different style wheels. Having a hard time deciding. I have a 2011 space grey metallic sport package.

If you're planning to go with replicas i'd recommend you don't. But OEM, second one.

I'm liking the first one as well. Looks like the current wheel available for the current M6... and I LOVE how that wheel looks in motion as well as stationary.

Can you ellaborate? Something specific to these? I have had replicas for winter use on other vehicles and never had an issue...most recently, on an RS4 with $600 RS6 replicas. I would consider the first option shown here for a winter setup on my X5M.

You have a 80-100k car, why risk your own health and well being and the integrity of the car? You get what you pay for with replicas, IMO just keep the stock OEM BMW wheels, or spend the money on OEM. see link below.

Edit: Ironically enough, those are the same wheels you're after.
