Great video. Just bought a Beamer with these wheel. Trying to determine if it’s worth refurbing them. If reps idk if it’s worth it. they didn’t have the emblem below the center caps so might be fake.
Hello, this has been asked before… Otto Fuchs who is a manufacturer of the 437m, has a plant in Hungary. BMW wheels in general are made by subcontracts (wheel manufacturers) all around the world.
Hi I brought a full set of used OEM 437m. Checked all the part numbers on the back. All stamped. All wheels made in Germany. But a quick question - how do I determine which ones go at the front and which rear ? Thanks
If your wheels/tires are different sizes then the wider ones go on the rear. If all 4 wheels and tires are the same sizes then it doesn’t matter unless the tread on the tires have uneven wear. If they are put the tires with better tread on the rear.
Hi, how about 795M. How do we differentiate the genuine from replicas? Thank you
Most of the replicas I've seen are also 8.5" front and 9.5" rear....vs (correct me if I'm wrong) 9" front and 10" rear for the OEM?
You are correct on the OEM sizing; front 19x9, rear 19x10 (no half sizes)

i thought these wheels were 21-22lbs for front and rear?
Which one is light ? Oem or replica?
Did BMW only make these in 19s? Being offered one with all the right marks but I'm not sure if they made 18s
these were never made in 18’s
I bought this wheels yesterday and mine says made in Hungary ... any problem with it?
No problem at all, those are most likely produced by Otto Fuchs who has a plant in Hungary
@@OGAdam That's a relief... thank you 😊
Can the style 437m fit on the BMW E34?
No
Hi, are M wheels made from Germany only? Ive seeen a pair made from Hungary?

for bmw g42 ?
Well I've seen original bmw mags made in China , sold at a bmw store
So no oem bmw wheels come in 8.5 front and 9.5 rear on any style or just this one mentioned?
There are a few other styles in OEM (Factory) wheels, this video is only referencing 437M
Replicas should be illegal period
Why?
Reps are cool however they need to be clear they are reps...wheels are too expensive to have a forge vs fake
