quality of replica wheels

["Jarchow Dennis" <JarchowDennis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have a 96 328i with the sport package and am considering making the stock
double spoke touring style 16" wheels my "winter" wheels and getting a new
set of 17" wheels and tires for summer. 

I see Tire Rack and Discount Tire carry M wheel replicas, the Tire Rack
version being a replica of the M3 Contour wheels by ATP ($183) and the
Discount Tire being a copy of the M3 M double spoke style ($159). The prices
seem great but are the wheels junk? Does anyone on the list have experience
with either of these wheels?

Would I be better off buying like a wheel like the Mille Miglia MM11-2 Sport
and skipping the BMW look-alikes?

Thanks for any advice!
