Hi, I wanted to post this on the wheels forum, but i got no permission to. but since its related to moi's Rim-hunt, might as well i ask here.Original or replica?over the past few weeks i've been seriously hunting for a suitable rims for my dad's e34, but to no avail. i recently found a nice original BBS but was denied by my dad. he fancies a rather simpler, more "full" kinda rim. easier to clean...now, i've seen some nice replicas (quite interested with a type II ACS) which are good value for money, but i was told to think otherwise. these sources told me that those rims are not as strong, and wont perform as good either. ...and that brings me to a halt.what are the actual impact? would these rims crack after a long distance drive? or come off if i drive too fast? i really dont mind paying a bit more if i can be sure of the quality against fashion.if a person is a bit old-fashion, what would you suggest a rim for him? i know its of personal preference... but just give me an honest view. we are currently using an original germany bbs, which doesnt look too bad, its just that its 15", too small that makes the car looks "floating" as the body is now white in color. the tyres are also worn out, so its just the right timing to change to a new rim altogether.Appreciate all the help i can get. original or replica?if you have nice rims for me to consider, PM me pls. or call me directly at 0193069295. simple design like the throwing star, and those with the BMW emblem are of high preference. kinda rule out ACS... but regardless... pls do propose. Cheers.
