genuine or replica ?
hi f20 experts
i decided to change my original wheels to sportline's 16" code:376 wheels, both of them fits 205/55/16 tires. After a little research, i found the wheels at well known local wheelshop. Dealer guy keeps saying "wheels are %100 genuine" but i've a doubt. here is the pics of the wheels. any help would be greatly appreciated please help me |

it's ok
I guess that these are originals, because:
- it was already wearing tires (taken off the car) - it's not reliable to produce replicas of such basic 16" rims |

It's been said above but you can see the BMW AG die castings in the back pocketing.
Also, a lot of Cheaper manufacturers (Crappy aftermarket fakes) won't bother to even do back pocketing to save money. Not all BMW's will have these but it is certainly a sign of a higher level of workmanship. |
