Looking for a winter set-up. Has anyone had experience with REPIKA brand wheels?

Looking at the replika r157. I believe they are made in canada. Good price.


Has anyone used them and had good experience?

I put a set of Replika R157 rims (https://www.replika.ca/) with Michelin X-ice Xi3 tires on my C43. So far, so good. During my research, I found a number of positive posts about the product.

I purchased them from PMC Tire (https://pmctire.com/), complete with TPMS, black bolts and black MBZ center caps. They arrived all mounted and balanced, ready to bolt on. The support people were very helpful with my questions. Though the rim is available with a machined outer edge (and look just like the black rims on the white car in the top-of-page picture in this forum), they advised that the all-black rim was better for winter use as the machined edge isn't "winter rated."

I installed R157's with Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4's on my 2016 E63 wagon (19 inch on all four corners). I have had them for 2 seasons and have not had any problems. Rims and tires are great.

I'm pretty sure they are not made in Canada, but the quality is good. If you have a non-AWD E63, I have a set of R171 for sale. See the following link:

What type of lug bolts/aftermarket lug bolts can we put on our cars? Looking to get a second set for the winter setup

I tried to place an order for the R157's but just got an email back this morning that they will not ship to the United States

Wheels look nice and for the right price but don't think it is an option for us US guys.
