Why doesn't any company care to make BMW Performance wheel replicas ?

$3800 is extremely hard to swallow for a set of BMW Performance wheels...some reps would be nice for these...

very hot wheels! but i dont think theres a huge market for them as theyre not a very well known wheel. Ive seen them in person and theyre sick! would be even nicer in 20s!
i think they may be too similar to the M6 for companies to really take the time to make em

I agree that their similarity to M6 reps may be holding back companies from making these reps. That said, if a company like AluFelgen made a quality 313 rep I would swap my M6 reps for them in a heartbeat.

Id like a set of these as well in 18s or 19s or some other nice split 5 spoke rims like Advan T5.

My guess is the OEs are forged. Making a cast rep may present a big problem in terms of strength. I was considering the 220M reps for my car but was uneasy about buying a rep wheel. After seeing pictures of a cracked wheel recently I decided against it.

Why not paint a set of M6 reps silver all over and they would look very similar?
