Are These Fake?

Mrpimpin6 · 11-07-2024, 11:51 AM

I just bought these style 135 wheels to put on my e60 first picture I believe these are genuine wheels but in the second I’m not sure what to make of them the spokes are different and the markings as well has anyone ever seen this? Third is a close up image of the markings on the mystery wheel

Side by side picture the sun kind of messed with pic and they feel like they weigh the same

Mrpimpin6 · 11-07-2024, 12:08 PM

Also a difference here

They obviously are not the same wheels. Where did you buy them?

i seee you own style 166 reps they look nice where did you get those, at this point hunting for oem wheels in good condition is gonna hold me back

The place I bought my 166 reps is no longer in business. You can usually find used OEM wheels on Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace if you're patient.

What did autorimshop say about selling you different wheels?

Mrpimpin6 · 11-09-2024, 11:53 PM

They have told me that I need to submit a request with proofs on what’s wrong with the wheel and then I get a return shipping label to send it back so hoping I have no further trouble, third wheel came and it looks fine I hope the fourth will be too, but yeah no other option then to be patient

They look just fine but, in the back they're a little bit off. They didn't trim down nicely the rough edges.

Yeah they’re rough but I don’t like how they’re built differently I’m not sure if that affects performance, not tracking the car or anything but I do like to have a heavy foot every now and then. for now I returned the rim and canceled the order. Also thinking about turning to turners Motorsport and see what I can get from them. But these are my two babies and the work horse. Re did the suspension on the 5 series all oem as well as ignition and anything else that wasn’t. I bought it an aftermarket monster 😂 and I blew up the gray one so need to find a suitable n51 AWD for it
