==========
Then I check the pirelli Sottozeros 210 II RFT myself, they are around 300$++ locally.
The M3 replica are about 130$each.

Tirerack sales the pirelli too, with similar package, I'm paying 1800$ tax in.
Not bad?
I got the exact same quote from OEMConcept. Prices are good, I checked, their rims are REPLIKA brands (replika.ca) and made in Japan.

They do NOT however have the eh2+ (extended hump) hump profile on the wheels.

Pirelli actually recommends EH or EH2+ hump profiles on the wheels for their tires. Friend of mine did some research and told me that its not only the fit on the wheels but also how the tire will hold in case of a blown incident on the road.

The one from TireRack that CanadianEH mentionned are Rial Salerno built in Germany. They boast the EH2+ profile and according to rial.de, they fit X1s

Comes to just a bit under 2000$ tax/duty/shipping included on Tirerack

CanadianEH also test fitted them and they go on perfect. Not sure about the ones from OEMConcept. (not saying they don't)
