I was thinking of getting some GTC wheels but i have heard they arent the best quality. can anyone who has had experience owning a set shed some light on this?

Same as any other in the price range, VMR, GTX, Alufelgen and numerous other rebrands!

I've had mine for about two years, which includes about 10 track days. No problems. Just make sure you don't get knock-on (clip-on) balancing weights, as they will contact your shock on the 8.5" rims on the front. (That's what we found was the cause of the knocking on my 130i at Phillip Island on Sunday!).

I've sold plenty of sets, customer feedback has been 100%, never had any issues with cracking or paint finish. Personally used them as well and was v happy.

Similar products, different brands.

Have been considering getting a set also, where are they made and how heavy are they compared to oem rims?

I've got anthracite gt-cs on my E87. had to run square cause the gt-cs didn't come staggered in the right sizes for the 1er 18".

My paint had some blemishes in it. But subtle and otherwise not noticeable unless the rims r very clean (ohhh the irony) haha.

I've run them since 2012. No issues.
