Best 18" 162 repros?

Hello all,

I've done a search and come up with several 19" 162 repros, but no 18"s. Actually, I did find one set at Lakeshore, but the quality is suspect. Where are people getting quality 18" 162 repros? I'd like to get a set for my 335xi for winter tires.

Thanks!

I thought most people just bought used OEM 162s for 18"...check out the for sale forums...

From what I understand...only MORR Alloy makes 162 replicas in 19". They make outstanding wheels...

What makes you unsure about the quality of the repros? I have a set of replica 162s and they are indistinguishable from OEM wheels. Admittedly Lakeshore is a terrible place to do business with, but they don't manufacture the wheels, they just retail them.

I should have been more clear. Quality of the reseller. Any idea of another place I could get the 162 repros that Lakeshore is selling?

Thanks,
