20" wheels on ebay

I ordered Luxury line BMW. I would love to get MSport wheels, but they are not available with Luxury and very expensive if I buy them separately.

I found these wheels on ebay and I think they would match very well my car's dark graphite color: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Set-of-4-20-...7f50eb&vxp=mtr

However, I noticed that they are very cheap, ~$800 for one set. I really like how they look, but I don't want to buy if they are crapy quality and dangerous to use.

Also, what are tyre dimension I need if I buy these wheels? All it says is
Front: 20x10"
Back: 20x11"

I guess it is
275/40/20 front
315/35/20 rear

Thank you in advance for your responses!

Why? Do you question the seller or product quality?
3 of them were sold end of Feb, I was wondering if anyone here bought it.

I question the quality. I also hate this mobile app since it ate my reply.

I've seen many catastrophic failures of replica wheels over the years. Everything from cracks to complete failure. The X5 is a heavy vehicle.

It's just my personal preference. I'd never sacrifice my safety for a discount.

I'll be selling my 20" 469M wheels once my car arrives.

I definitely don't want to get them if they are cheap quality replicas. Thanks for advice!

Why are you going to sell your wheels? Do you want to put bigger ones or you just don't like them?

Yeah, I noticed he has the same 469 wheels. I thought these wheels have different number/name in UK.

Not sure. I'll know as soon as it arrives. Likely, yes.

In the UK they are an option with the M Sport:

20" M Double-spoke style 469M alloy wheels £ 1,200.00

I have ordered for my 3D. I've been told by my dealer, BMW UK and BMW HQ they are All Season Run Flats, but have my doubts after reading posts here.

Apologies, I stand corrected they are as you said 469 style
