I bought all BMW factory M parallel rims and they are ALL the same size rims... All 4 rims i bought are the front rims 18x8(If I remember) and i've ran over plenty of pot holes.. and the rims are fine... espically if they are putting them on from the factory on the new ones.. and i didn't need any spacers they just bolted right on my 92 735i. And they look AWESOME! the grandpop rims are in my garage... the car from before didnt' turn heads.. now it does. The rims really make the car look newer.

Here are pics of my car



I just bought a '90 735iL and need replacement wheels bad - the stock wheels are grampa style IMO. The best looking ones I've seen are the 18" BMW M parallel. These go for about $525 each? However, I found a guy that sells "replicas" currently going for $1099 for 4 (all 18x8) on E-bay. These look good from the pictures, but...? The URL is:

What do you think of these? Any downside to having same size on front and rear? Apparently they fit 1988-present w/o an adapter.
