Replica Alloys f- Any bad stories?

[bmw-newbie]

I'm planning to buy the following 18 inch alloys of wheel mania for my 325 coupe (2001) - they are replicas

www.wheelmania.co.uk/

Style - *M3 EVO II*

Does anyone have any words of advice re replicas? I have seen some alloys where the surface starts to bubble up and I assume this is because they are replicas - how can I avoid getting a dodgy replica like these, is there a brand I should stick to?


Thanks for your help.

I'd be more worried by teh strength of the wheel. I know a few people who have had cracked spokes on cheap alloys. Those are about half the price of the BMW wheels.
The BMW name for those wheels is MV-2.

I have mv2 reps on my 330d and they are fine had them over a year.
