BMW 437M Wheels - Original vs Replica (Quick Overview)

An overview on how to recognize BMW OEM 437M wheels versus replicas.
OEM BMW wheels are costly and some BMW owners want the look without the heavy price. Vanity over practicality and more importantly safety are of high importance.
Replica wheels are usually cast wheels and not forged. Forged wheels are more durable and lighter in most cases. Replica wheels will easily bend even crack when you go over the slightest potholes especially on aluminum replicas. The finish also wears off over time.
The cheaper and poorly made replicas are not balanced correctly therefore causing issues with suspension and are dangerous at high speeds.
Remember that replicas are also different from aftermarket wheels. There are a few high quality aftermarket manufacturers that produce for the auto maker industry. Being old school, I’ve owned several aftermarket wheels including BBS, Enkei, Fitipaldi and even Dayton’s.
So just know what your buying and know the consequences of not buying original.
