Experience with replicas?

I'm wondering about buying replica rims on ebay, the price seems too good to be true, specifically [these](https://www.ebay.com/itm/19-BMW-Repl...EAAOSwuZlZwDJW)

Also will those fit on my '13 535i? With these tires?

1500 for tires and rims seems too cheap

Like any reps, you take your chances.
I would suggest you learn more about rims and Tires before making a purchase.
Let's start with the tires, you post a link to 18" tires and 19" rims.
No, that doesn't work.
You would also want different tire sizes on front vs back since the rims are staggered.
This particular set of rims have the wrong offset for your car.

It defaults to the 18” tire, I linked the correct one. I’m not familiar with offset and that’s why I posted asking your opinions.

You need something with offsets closer to ET25 (front) and ET41 (rear) if you don't plan on using spacers.

Well you got my opinion.
Here is a link to the OE staggered setup had it been an MSport.
http://www.bmwstylewheels.com/bmw/351
It shows the proper sizes and offsets.
This isn't written in stone as some want lower offset which pushes the tire outward.
Higher of course is more inward, it is all a matter of taste.
Also just to state the fact, reps are cheap for a reason.

you get what you pay for. I understand people have a budget and some people have deep pockets. but you drive a BMW so you can't always cheap out on things...especially the wheels. exterior components like spoilers and stuff you can go replicas as there's no way I would spend that much on something for pure aesthetics. for example I spent a pretty good chunk on my wheels but for the carbon fiber components they're all ebay or what member's sold in the MarketPlace.

Hey guys, I am new to this forum and I can't create a new thread yet, but I would appreciate if you can help me out with an opinion about a new set of rims that I have bought:
View post on imgur.com


They seem to have all the necessary stamps on them, but they weigh 13.4 kg and the OEM seem to weigh only 12 kg/13kg as I found on these two websites:
RealOem:

Link 2: https://goo.gl/GNQntJ

CarsAddictions:

Is there something wrong, could the rims be replicas if they weigh 13.4 kg?

Thanks a lot
