This should get you vendors that sell that wheel. You can also do the same on ebay and amazon.com (use the 11 digit BMW part nbr and wheel style name) and this should get you used, new, and replicas.

Thanks! Finding the part or part number is not the issue. Finding a reputable vendor with good product is. Some people linked specific vendors that they had good experiences with.

Thanks for all the input!

Thanks! These look tempting. Time to inquire pricing and start looking for tires.

That seller looks to sell the same wheels, but he charges more. Save your money and go on ebay.

Here are a couple pics of the 22" reps I bought.

+1. Replica wheels may be cheaper, but prefer OEM myself.

295/30/22 front
335/25/22 rear

I also added H&R spacers (Thanks r33_RGSport!) 15mm front and 20mm rear. The wheels are nice and flush now. Here are a few more pics:

How would a G05 style wheel look on an F15?

You seem like a savvy shopper, where did you get your tires?

I think a lot depends on the size of the rim. I bought 22" reps and cracked one after 6 months. They only sell reps in sets of 4 so I was screwed. I think for a 18" or 19" winter setup that they would be fine, but nothing larger.,

You dont have much tire between the wheel and the road with a 22" wheel, so I wouldn't blame the wheel manufacturer.

Best prices I could find were on eBay:

There's a guy selling this set on the BMW X5 Facebook group for $1100 with tires. Not crazy about the look tho. The ones I put on my car look much better.
