They look OEM to me, but the only way to check is to look for a part number, although I can't find a part number on realoem.com. Very similar to a few sets on the list though. I doubt you can get reps though.

looking how cheap adapters are i think i would prefer oem wheels tbh if anything to save a little weight.

just to be sure (cause im not really clued up on bm's) this is a 5 series isnt it and what year and model number would it be??

I would certainly avoid reps tbh.

That BMW above is an E60 (5 series) - judging by the wheels and other small signs I would say a lower spec model as well. Production years from 2003 to 2010 according to wikipedia (not 100% sure on the 2003 part). Wheels will be 5x120, but can't say what the offset is as they can be anything from ET40 to ET10.

I can't find a part number either.
