22" wheels

[norwegian_viking]

I know there are some old posts regarding wheels, but I want a new one.

I just ordered a 40e and need some 22" wheels for summer as I'm using the 20" 469 M-Sport wheels for winter.

Some people have mentioned BBS SV, but I would appreciate to have some more options. Please post picture, links or name some sweet looking 22" wheels.

I like the 375 style, but struggle to find some replicas in good quality.

Thanks!

That looks really good, OEM+. Who makes them? A reputable brand?

I don't know where they are produced, but it's a Norwegian company who is partly owned by Bavaria (BMW dealer in Norway) who sells them. I've had other wheels from they before, the quality it ok, but nothing more. The price is equivalent to $3000 Pirelli tires included. I would say the price is fair.

Since I ordered Black Sapphire, I thought it would be better with some darker machine faced (or what it's called) wheels. But I agree with you, they look OEM. I like the 469, but they are only in 20". The 599 style is awesome, but too expensive in Norway. Have someone found 599 replicas in 22"?

I already found the brand of the wheels. Looks like they are Italian. Let me do some research. They have a nice selection.

Based on the site he gave us, 24900 = $3000 USD

seems VERY high for replica 22s. They should be about $1000 USD

Have you had any better luck ?

Correct, since 22" BBS SVs can be bought for just slightly more than $500 a piece.

The wheels are made by MAK.

They have a US website also, but cannot find pricing. I'll send them an email. It does seem that the German shops who sell them mention they are TUV approved.

Pricing is probably higher in Norway compared to the US. We have high taxes and for example the X5 is 120k for the 40e/2.5d

A 22" Vossen wheel is almost 1k each wheel without tires..

Upon further inspection, I do not believe that the MAK wheels is the same as the pic or the link that Norwegian_viking posted.

Look at the wheels, side by side. Totally different...

[SlammedR8]

But look at the one Norwegian_viking posted..the GS wheels.

Identical
