Hi,

I've been searching for oem wheels for my 2011 328 xdrive.

Came across this company in UK selling a replica set.

Question 1: Anybody heard of this company and their quality of wheels?

CM Wheels Ltd from Europe

My wheels are 17x8x34

Question 2: Also, how would going staggered 18x8 et34 and 18x8.5 et37 affect the AWD system?

Or upped to 19x8 et 37 and 19x9 et39

I've seen 335 xdrives with staggered sets but am not sure if it's a different AWD system

Thanks!

After some research, I've decided not to go with replica wheels.

My current oem wheels are 17x8 offset 34

Has anyone ever put 313 wheels from a z4 on their 3 series? 19x8 offset 29.

I'd be able to purchase a brand new oem set all in that size for $880.00

I'm wondering how that would affect the handling or if it would rub against the fender or vehicle components on my 328 xdrive????? The lower offset would cause the wheels to stick out more than the originals?

Reps, in general, suck. There are some exceptions when they're made by a reputable company, like Avant Garde, as an example.

18x8 et34 and 18x8.5 et37 on the AWD system is perfectly fine, as long as you put the right sized tires on them.

Yes that seems like a common size width and offset. Why do some AWD come with different widths and offsets? Like the 335is xdrive has 19x8 et37 19x9 et 39

I'm leaning towards the z4's 313 front wheels at 19x8 et29 since it's is pretty close to what my stock size is. 17x8 et34. Talked with guys at discount tires and 225/35/19 tires would be the right fit.

The same as of any replica stuff:

Champagne taste, beer budget.
