Was looking at these earlier today while browsing, although their not BMW alloys, but they are brand new.

Quite like the first ones - they are very similar to the AC Schnitzer's

Looks are one thing, quality is another.

I would trust Alutec - they may be made by Wolfrace for the UK, while for my market they are made in Poland, but they're a decent mainstream European brand with established norms.

Lenso, however, are made in Thailand or the Philippines. They're more like Hijoin, a substandard Taiwanese company.

If you can, ask the manufacturer for the wheel weight specification and compare them with BMW weights on bmwstylewheels.com . Some replicas can be heavy - extra unsprung weight can ruin the handling. One season or two of urban driving can make them square and the lacquer may peel while changing tyres. I've been through that on other cars, so I thought I'd inject a note of warning.
