M5 Replica Wheels Installed
Got my M5 reps put on today, as well as upgraded to Akebono Euro Ceramic pads and painted my calipers with a silver G2 kit.

Hmmm.
I kind of like them. I don't see enough M5s to associate them with a larger sedan, so maybe that's got something to do with it. Bottom line, if you like them, that's what matters. |

Replicas are often cheaply made, heavy, and in your case, too small to look right (real ones are 20s). That's why they have a bad name.

Unfortunately so are a large amount of aftermarket wheels, replicas or not. These happen to weigh 4 pounds lighter than my stock wheels did, which I'm happy about. And with all the potholes in Indianapolis, I wouldn't dare run anything larger than 18s anymore. I've ruined several sets of 19s before because of our roads, not trying to do that again, haha.

i loved the look of the 19' m5 reps i had on my coupe... they were really easy to clean too.
i think with a slight drop, and maybe a bit more aggressive shoulder to the tire these will look quite at home. any reason you went with the black background instead of the gunmetal? that may be what the fuss around the "replica" word is about.

But that's the wonderful thing about wheels, they're all very subjective and not at all permanent. If a few months from now I end up not liking them when everything else is done, all I have to do is buy a different set. I've never been afraid to try extreme/unique styles; sometime it works, sometimes it doesn't, either way it's fun to try things out.
