Just bought a set of the below wheels, they are a little scuffed, so going to need them refurbed. Only paid £200 for the set, cam with tyres but they are all shot, so have another set to put on.

Anyone know any good, but cheap places in bucks/herts that do a good job

Anyone know what wheels they are and what series BMW it might have come from.
They were advertised as genuine, but on the insides there is no mention of BMW, just Italy, and a whole lot of other info. What should I be looking for to tell?

I think lepssons is a good place for sorting out the wheels and elite tyres in rainham take some beating on tyre prices

I have my original set of PS2's which were replaced by Falken 452's, which are great, UNTIL its wet, then they are a nightmare, so going to use the PS2's for the winter

Is there a website for lepssons, did a search but could not find anything

Try BJV just out the back of hemel near Flaunden, done great work for me in the past and charged £45 per tyre.

It looks like a replica of an M5 E60 wheel. Heres some real ones....





...even replicas would have been around £400+ new, so £200 is not too bad.

BMW do use an Italian factory for many of their OEM wheels. One of the factories is Cromodora.

See http://www.cromodorawheels.it/

Their slogan is "Perfect Casting Technology"

Some might disagree however - see http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=133243

Thanks for the info guys. I don't know what to make of them. They were sold to me as genuine BMW wheels. Mixed set 18" x 8.5 and 18" x 8, They do look like M5 wheels, but I don't think BMW do 18" wheels for an M5

The only markings on the wheels is JW VIA, 690kg Italy. I paid £200, but concidering a refurb will cost another £200, That means they owe me £400, which I'm guessing is close to the new price if they are replica's, And to add to that all the hassle to get them refurbed, and collecting them

Called the person I bought the wheels from, was told they came of a 52 plate 318ci convertible, and is convinced they are genuine
