Where do you guys get your replica wheels from? This might be a possibility. Thanks for any help.

Most of them come from China and Taiwan.

Is that a good or a bad thing? Are they heavy? How do they hold up? I know they won't be a good a quality as actual BMW wheels but I'm just curious.

Could be a very bad thing...

The wife use to have rep 437 style wheels and it held up well. She dinged them up and curbed them a couple of times and it still rolled smooth. To me, cast is cast so whether they're reps or Niche or any MHT wheel, they're made in the same hand full of factories in China. I've had less issues with cheap cast wheels vs the flow formed stuff. You can get replicas on ebay or CL.
