yeah, should like "test-test" on the car. i'm biased for no.3 cause if i'm not wrong, its the E63 rims. and mine is an E. hahaha. and mine is silver, will blend with the black. but if yours is black on black, i would think need more striking colour.

Ya my heart is with nos. 3. Someone managed to get the replica, i wonder where is that place. Can anyone advise me where to purchase the replica rims.

Yes, i noticed the brake dust is bad, anyone change to less brake dust pad before?

The pics are mostly taken at BendLie, sounds familiar? lolz

Replica wheels? What's the quality like? I'd rather get less chio wheels than compromise on the integrity of the wheels, especially if u drive hard. Without wheels, ESP is just fancy software. But, if good quality shop, just design is copycat, maybe it is still acceptable.

I just had a frustrating time clearing brakedust today from my wheels. Am tempted to send wheels for repainting. Heard that it'll cost abt $500! But much cheaper than changing wheels altogether n they'll look brand new!

Replica wheel quality? no issue at all, as i dont drive hard. Yes, i intend to blacken my rims spoke if i cant find one in the market. Those stock brake pad is really bad, next project change to those less brake dust pad. I m sure there are plenty in the market. Can show me a pic of yr rims? You intend to respray the whole rim or just the spoke?

replica 19" at USD$1,495 (1 set) .. shipping should be around USD$450

Set of four 2 8.5"&9.5"X19" with center caps

Hi thanks, where is the link for the website? My staggered setup for coupe should be front 225/40 (width 8x18") and rear 265/35 (width 9x18"). Is this correct size, can anyone advised or confirmed for 18" tyres?
