OEM Rep 162s

Are they any good or worth looking into, or are they junk?

Something like this:

They're considerably cheaper than the OEMs..

I reckon there is a ton of people here who bought their 335i in sport, and which came with those wheels standard. Many seem to be going for aftermarket wheels, ditching the OEM 18s. I'd say try posting it in classified section or see what response you get here, may be buying a nice used pair and paying couple of hundred more is better then Ebay ... I repeat, IMHO there is a supply of used 162s now, so you might as well get those. Plus side is that it's OEM. Minus is that used is used, you never really know what you get.

if not... then depends who makes the reps. If it's Italian made, I'd say it's pretty good quality. I heard not so nice things about Chinese made reps.

you should be able to pick up a set of oem 162 w/ tires for prob around $1k well worth it imo rather than buying reps from ebay for not much less....
