Refurbished wheels
I'm looking to replace my current wheels and came across this website that sells BMW OEM refurbished wheels based in MN: http://www.hubcaphaven.com/c/700/bmw...eels_rims.html Of the refurb sites I've seen, this one definitely has an extensive list of choices.
Has anyone dealt with them? Are the prices too good to be true? I understand that refurbished are cheaper but then I wouldn't want to pay much less than OEM and have to deal with potential hassles later on. Or, for those who've bought replica/refurbished wheels, could you recommend me a reputable vendor? Thanks!

Although I've never heard of those guys, I've had experience with one of our local wheel refinishing companies here in Vancouver, Nu-Brite. They do excellent work and I'm always impressed with how they can bring a 'trashed' wheel back to as new condition. They also warranty their work. I've had a few sets of wheels re-finished by them (for various reasons) and haven't had a single issue, which is surprising since I am VERY picky when it comes to my vehicles. With that said, I can't comment on the vendor you're suggesting.

another option is originalwheels.com. I was in the market for some 19 inch M sport wheels, and they have them, along with a ton of others. I gave them a call and they reassured me that they were "guaranteed" from a condition standpoint. Ultimately, I purchased the wheels I wanted from a BMW dealer in Florida via Ebay. They came out to be cheaper overall, as they had the tires and sensors, and center caps included. In the end I felt better getting them from a BMW dealer....they were take offs with less than 10 miles on them. They are still in transit so I haven't seen them in person but I am confident they will be good.

Oh they're local. Thanks for the link. I might give them a try but I try to find good deals from BMW dealers or reputable independent eBay sellers first. Refurbished would sort of be my last resort
