Reasonably cheap 1-series OEM wheels?

Edit:

After a bit more searching, it looks like it is mainly refinished OEM rims. I bet that if you requested a 1-series wheel right now, they would say none are in stock. It seems like some reviews on bimmer forum are hit or miss. Seems to be a legit place, but maybe not the best place to buy from. Almost certainly not brand new OEM wheels.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%
I cannot vouch for this site, but they look/claim to have OEM wheels for very reasonable prices. Has anyone dealt with Finishline Wheels before?

Here is the list (no pictures, but the details list the style #).

Some highlights:
Motorsport style 216: Front $179, Rear $185
The OEM 264s are the same price.

Under 2009, they have style 261 for the same price: front, rear

I did not see the 269 style.

If anyone know about this company, speak up. A set of 261s or 216s for under $850 shipped seems like a hot deal. Shipping looks to be $18 per rim by UPS ground.

I am not planning to buy anything in the near future, but figured other people may.

They seem like they do refinished factory OEM wheels, but I would not imagine that there would be this many 1-series wheels around to be refinished right now.

Maybe someone who is in the market can do some leg work to figure out the details.

I have never heard anything about this company, good or bad.

However, there's an old saying - "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is."

Again, I have no knowledge of them. One of the tricks used in the electronics industry (cameras) is to advertise a low price. When you go to order, they want you to take their "special package" or pieces that usually come with it (charger, strap, etc.) at inflated prices. If you refuse, the items you want are suddenly "out of stock."

A word to the wise - let us know if you get something from them.

Have Fun,
Rick

There are plenty of used ones in the for sale forum and you can be sure they are the real thing.
