Mpar Replicas....Ya or Na??

[Disast3r_Ti]

Found a killer deal on a set with tires... Should I walk away or take them?

Depends on size and specs.

Mpars like 7 series? Might not fit. 18 would be big and it seems like they would tram line and almost ruin ride quality...

Yes I know I would need hub centric rings. I have seen them on e36 just was wondering about the quality of replicas. I know OEM are forged and hold up very well.

Usually specs means (wheel size | width | tire spec)

depending on suspension and tire size, he COULD run it. But E38 (assuming they are not since he said replica) 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 would work with a lot of fender work and also depending on tire size. I am currently running 18x8.5 front and rear with a ET20 in front and ET10 in rear on a 225/40/18 and it rides great with the proper coil over or suspension set up.

Pic for reference :

I had some e46 m reps that fit. From Italy... they were lunkers for the 4cyl though.

Even modifying my e46 wagon to fit mpars was a pain in the A$$ since i had to roll fenders and nearly pull the rears a LOT.

Will stick out a bit but its worth a shot.

I also have a 328i that I could put them on. $150 in thinking is a steal.


Oh and they say f208 18x8jj
