Wheels from Lithuania?
As I search around and research some 21inch or 22inch wheel choices for my upcoming 45e, I notice there are loads of what appears to be BMW Replica wheels on EBay from a few shippers all from Lithuania.
As someone in the U.S., at first this seems like a bad options consider shipping logistics, etc. Does anyone have experience here, know what Lithuania happens to have lots of wheels online, and/or have knowledge of their quality or lack of? Example link of a 742m style in a 21inch (he has all sorts in diff sizes): https://www.ebay.com/itm/16442402980...cAAOSwJe9eg41H |

If they are knock-offs without certification I'm not sure I'd be willing to put these on my car. Who knows where these are sourced etc.

Adblue I figured that might be the case, but I was/am curious how diff they might be from other "Replica's" or wheels you can get here or there? If anyone has experience, etc. Or if for example OEM wheels are manufactured over there in the same factories...perhaps a pipe dream...

I made the VERY bad mistake of ordering some aftermarket parts from Lithuania for my previous 340i.
Very cheap, very low quality, and highly misrepresented online. They used photos of actual BMW parts, buy sent poorly made garbage. Lithuania is the "Wish App" of Europe. |
