Aftermarket wheels

Hi, has any one had experience with the rims in the link below? Thinking of going for a set.
Also, what tyre sizes would you recommend?

Cheap tat imo, 6 months down the road they'll be flaking.

I looked at some "Dare" for the e46 and the pics seemed ok but settled on some style 393`s instead.
I did buy some staggered BBS reps with a polished rim for the e46 about five years ago from a shop in Ayr from ebay and they were great and they did the same for the e30 but cant trace them anymore.

I definitely wouldnt be fitting them to any of my cars, I have seen these up close on customers cars and they are very thin/flimsy around the hub area, as they are made in china its not very reassuring really!

Enough said Dan, some stuff made over there may be ok but wheels?
They just dont give a shit about quality nor do the vendors.

if you want those type of wheels have a look at caliber vintage, i had a set for nearly 10yr's till i got my set of azev a's,

the caliber wheels took a daily battering & i never had any problems with them while i was using them.

For any aftermarket wheels, I follow a simple formula. How much do they weight and are they TUV certified. Cheap reps will be heavy and won’t come with any certification.

I have 15” BBS reps from MaxiLite and can’t fault them. Weights exactly as the originals and is TUV certified and comes with 3 year warranty.

I've had a look at Maxlite but the bbs reps don't seem to be available. I was originally lgoing down the alpina route.
Ill message them to see if the bbs are availible. If not I may go for the alpina

How about Ronal Ls?

To be honest I'm not too keen on the polished rims, even though I added the link on the first post. The 16" bbs on Maxlite look good, but they're currently not in stock.
Any other non polished bbs options out there?
