thewheelexchange is a good company. We ordered replica M-parallels from them for my dads e38 750il and 3 sets(one for me and one for my two brothers) of w140 monoblock replicas from them also some years back. quick shipping, good prices too.

My experience was likewise positive. Granted, the AMG monoblocks I took off the car were much better/lighter rims, but it isn't like I am tracking my SL500 anyway...Shipping was fast, fitment was perfect, tires came balanced...very pleased.

2. If the unsprung weight of the wheel/tire package is more than that of your stock package you are dimiinshing the performance of the car and adding unnecessary stress on suspension/brake components.
3. Spend the money on a good driving school instead. Also, this will lower your insurance rates and you will meet some cool people.

My experience with them was not positive. I ordered a set of RUF's for my previous Porsche and got an older model then what was in the picture. This was 10 years ago, so maybe they have gotten better...but back then, the 2 guys I dealt with were real jerks, and refused to take the wheels back...
Probably not the greatest 1st post. I normally lurk to find out info about my old clk430 and newly owned clk55...
