AluFelgen Company is pleased to introduce OEM Reproduction wheels for BMW E90/1/2/3 enthusiasts. 100% designed at the OEM level, quality & specifications. We will focus all our efforts into the BMW market only. We are on schedule to launch our 19" Style 127M (CSL) and follow up with a proper 166M (M5) and 167M (M6) replica wheel in 19" as well. We will also bring back the classic 19" 162.

Replica wheel manufacturers have a tendency to manufacture a wheel for all the applications. You can clearly see the same wheel profile regarding of the wheel width Not in our case. We will manufacture the wheels profile and offset specifically for your vehicle to prevent the typical “replica” wheel look created when wrong offsets are used. We also manufacture wheels 99% in appearance to the original

Our wheels are manufactured with the highest quality casting method as oppose to most replica wheels manufacturers who prefer to use a cheaper casting method, Gravity casting, that creates easily bent and hard to balance wheels. Our cast wheels are made by Low Pressure casting which is the same used by Ronal to manufacture all BMW OEM wheels. All wheels are also clearcoated for better appearance. All our setups would be staggered as well.

We decided to introduce our company with a proper CSL replica wheel simply because the market does not offer it yet. The are two current CSL offerings and on one the spoke thickness is clearly narrower than the original CSL design and the other one lacks the concavity of the CSL, both giving you the typical replica look instead of the OEM look you are trying to achieve.

Here is our 19" Style 127M fresh out of the mould:



We are getting photos of the final product today!

There are about 8-9 different styles we have in mind including the CSL, M5, M6, E92M3 18" and 19", Style 225M, 230 and others. We would like to know your opinions, thoughts, suggestions or any comment that you might have. Also please let us know what you would like to see next.

Let's see the rears

Also would be interested to see your idea of a 'proper' 166M reproduction. That is one wheel type that is sorely lacking in the marketplace. More so than the CSLs (VM already does a really decent one) and M6 reps (likewise Miro). But as far as M5 reps, we could only drool at the offerings in europe. A proper 225M would be interesting.

You should pay proper attention on offsets! The flusher the better...

I rather have it without the letters like the VMRs and Miros, now they look like fakes.

How about 18" x 8.5 E60 M5 Replica for the E90/91/92/93? Pricing?

[AlpineM6GC]

can you please post a side view picture to show the concavity. Thanks, Danny
also, any plans on making the style 249? those wheels look sick and have a nasty concave face.

How do they look like fakes? If anything, they look more real now since real ZCP wheels have the engravings.

price?

I`ll post detailed photos of the rears as soon as I receive them. The 166M was a style that was made into a replica even before the M5 hit our shores. The wheel design was based out of pure images and not an actual sample and the results were catastrophic. We`ll be manufacturing a 166M style wheel out of an actual sample with the proper profile and offsets. 225M and 230 will come as well.

The letters around the hub is just the size, width and offsets. Nothing fake about it.

We could always explore that possibility.

Yes. I`ll post more photos as they come. The wheels were just finish a few days back.

Style 249 is what I consider a perfect OEM 5-spoke wheel. Too bad they do not make it for the 3-series. We`ll be offering this style in 19" setup with proper offsets as well.

We`ll be competitive with the market prices. Our prices will range from $899-$1099 depending on the style.

Very nice, it is refreshing to see someone else step up to the plate and make some good looking wheels for a decent price. Competition among vendors only works on our advantage.

NOOO!!!!! i just got v710... j/k. but damn i have been waiting for something like this for such a long time. you need to post more detailed pictures of the rear rims for concativity. it is obvious we got the oem markings down and from the looks of it the front and rear look great. but concativity is key so post more detailed pics of that. thanks and very

[hl0m4n]

also will they be VIA and JWL certified? warranty info? thanks and very excited to see this.

PS: it would be even more kick ass if you can somehow change the offset, width, etc engraving to the e92 ones in the same font, size, etc.

Should've waited! I`m an a** when it comes to details. So we`ll make sure concavity is there. I`ll post pictures as they come.

Yes. VIA/JWL is almost a standard in manufacturing in Taiwan. As far as warranty it comes with 1-year warranty.

About the engraving, that is exactly what we did. We replaced all the OEM info with the actual width, offset, etc.

Here it is. Notice the 19x8.5J and the EH2IS35 to describe the offset. This is 19x8.0ET47 on a OE wheel.

Concavity FTW! if you can make M5's that would somewhat concave like the stocks that'll be a nice seller.

They would look fake if they said 19x9.5ET27 when the wheels is 19x9.5ET30. But we replaced the engraving with the actual offset of the wheel.

Look what I found. This clearly shows the difference between the current CSL reps and OEM CSL.

Left Miro CSL, Right OEM CSL

Consider doing a 7 (14) spoke design similar to the VM710 / iForged TE-14. I prefer that look over the CSL on 3-series cars.
