Hi,

I'm looking to buy a set of MV3 replicas but can't find a place online to buy them from. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Cheers
Ed

Several sellers here in Northern Ireland, autoalloys.com are decent.

OP - most rep sets won't be staggered i.e. won't be wider rears.

Better buying a cheaper curbed used original set and get them refurbished.

[Ed_E90]

What difference will wider rears make to my SE model seeing as I don't plan to lower it and it already comes on a squared setup as standard anyway?

Sorry but I'm new to BMW.

Reps can be bought in staggered fitment no problem, looks better and slight handling advantage.

Most reps I've looked at come in staggered fitments as thats what people want, and indeed what I got today.


MV3's aren't that expensive so don't see point getting a set of replicas when you can get genuine wheels easily enough from people who are trading up.


If you want reps in different styles Circmcn from m3 cutters does various styles at decent prices.

I differ to what others have said.
OEM MV3 are rubbish and crack easily.
3 of mine cracked.....so would you still suggest to go for OEM.

Go for quality replicas mate. Do what you want to do.

Plenty of sellers local to you as I see you are in N Ireland, autoalloys.com are in Magherafelt and Tyre Safety Centre in Cookstown are two but plenty more I'm sure.

Been meaning to start a thread on this but recently got completely done over by a crooked seller, months later it ended in a chargeback and I got my money back on Friday, a lot of hassle though.

However Chris at http://www.********.com/ Is one of the nicest and most helpful guys I've ever ordered anything from, he is local to you and I can't recommend CM wheels enough.

I doubt there is any handling advantage. If the wheels are wider and wider tyres fitted, rear grip will increase compared to front and give more understeer at high speed. The car will have better forward traction but unsprung weight may well increase over the smaller wheel / tyre combo.
