The things that make the original look so good is what costs so much. A knock-off won’t look that good because they cut corners and manufacturing processes to keep the costs down. Eventually the technology will be cheap enough for the knock-off companies but the real companies will have moved on. ---

the issues is with knockoffs they are not made for your car, you will have to get a hubcentric spacer, or at minimum a hubcentric adapter. Or you can search the bimmerboards and usally you can pick up a set of Fiskes or a set of kenisis(they have a similar style) for about $1500 if you look hard enough Remember BMWs have a weird boltpattern, 5X120 with an offset somewhere in the low 40’s to upper 30’s for the E36
