21” 469 reps. Interesting. Pics on the F15?

[Swiftness~]

I might be interested as Im looking for wheels, I have no idea what all that means just seems to sound like a fancier way of saying there better than other replica wheels. Besides the obvious fact that they are 21 replicas is there a better explanation why I would pay more for these considering I can get a brand new genuine set of jet black 20 469s for 2550$, are your wheels as strong and durable as the oems not trying to sound like an ass just curious as I am no expert.

Yes I understood up to that part but where I live we have nasty roads my wifes X6 came with the 599s and so far they have been holding up well over the last 2 years Im just wondering if that can be said for ops wheels.

Typically a forged wheel is stronger then a cast wheel, from what I have read they can use less material and still be stronger hence the lighter weight. I’m sure the op will chime in. Also being forged usually they are more expensive, most of the real expensive wheels out there are forged. I do agree with you though as I would do all my research before pulling the trigger .

Are these manufactured in the USA or...?

[Bobby_Drake]

China?

Everyone, I am open to the concept of a group buy, if we can get 10 members in, the price will be $2500 shipped. If you are interested in black or gunmetal with machine finish there will be a bit of a premium, $2550.

Can you address the above questions regarding where they are made? Any certifications such as TUV? As you can imagine, people will be putting their families in cars supported by your wheels so safety is the very first thing that comes to mind.

Are you wheel company? You have a Gmail address. Or just sourcing these somewhere in bulk, marking them up and reselling them?

I am with this guy.

Also the rear wheels are 11" and the offsets aren't aggressive enough to avoid using the spacers?

Losing 1/2" in wheel width, different center bore (use of concentric rings) and OS not aggressive enough, things can be improved quite a bit here.

Please clarify the above mentioned concerns as well

He did mention in his post that the wheel configuration will allow the same tire profile as the stock 20" configuration so that's probably why.

Will these fit F85 X5M? I need 21” rims for my winter tires?

I only found one tire that matches these wheels on Tire Rack and that’s the P Zero.

Yep..PZ4 RFT which is the same tire 469s are outfitted with from production with MSport and performance tires. Most likely intentional given his statement around optimal ride comfort.

I know..I'm giving him a lot of credit ..Let's see if he answers your questions.

Can you post the certificates and reveal place/locale of manufacturing?

You aren’t losing anything if you put these on an F15. These are configured to run stock width tires for the F15.

Yes, based off the specs this will fit on an F85. Center bore and bolt pattern match. You’ll need to check on winter tire width available sizes to make sure you can get something that will fit the rim.

We are not asking the names of other brands. We are asking the producing country and certs.

Anyone who puts this much effort into selling a knockoff set of rims should be revaluated for membership to this great forum. Cmon man I have a set of these OEM sitting in my garage they are my winter setup. $3K for knockoffs? Really?
