Excited to hear what you think. Contemplating ordering these for my wife's X5. Just wish tires weren't so expensive in those sizes.
The tires are stupid expensive, no doubt about it. I'll probably use my 740's in the winter to help keep costs down-that is unless someone makes me an offer I can't refuse.

My first impression of the wheels upon opening the box is that they look identical to the oem's.

Utterly magnificent looking. Cannot wait to see them mounted.

I will say the savings you get on the wheels helps offset the tire cost.

Looks amazing! I’m in Florida so they will be on year round. Luckily my wife doesn’t drive too much so if we do it hopefully I can get the tires to last a good while. Do you know if the offset matches the oem wheels?

Yes these wheels are an exact replica of the 742m's.

One wheel needed more weight to balance according to the tire shop but the car drives perfectly, no vibration-I had it up to 100 on the way home with no issues. Hopefully it is stable all the way up to top speed, I'll test soon and report back.

Yeah replicas that's right. Once the M emblems are applied I could start telling people they're oem and no one would know. They're an exact match.

I'm interested to see how the finish and if they spin true...or if they need a ton of weight to balance. They look great.

3 of the 4 were round, one was slightly out of round according to the tire shop. The seller replaced it. Hopefully the replacement is round.

They look good. I'm riding around on the imperfect wheel now, I had it up to 120 with no vibrations.
