M3 Wheel Confusion

I am looking to get 19" M3 rep wheels for my car and I am a bit confused.
What's the difference between these:

http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=150072

And the Miro 318's (will need to scroll down a bit):

http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=135148

They seem fairly similar to me. The miro's seem to have more of a rounder face. I have also read that the miro's are M5 reps. Is this correct? What's the difference between the M3 and M5 wheels.

Wait, I just looked more carefully at some M3 and M5 pictures and I guess the M3's have the split between the spokes.

What else am I missing?

ok you are new i help you out.
first one is the exclusive alloy EX4. that nearly a one to one copy to the M3 sytle wheel 220 but in the right offset for non M3 fittment.

Miro 318 is a M5 copy style 166. but not a good copy in my eyes. take the M§ rep or some other manufacturer of style 166 if you like the M5 variante better

+ 1.....

the EX4 is the e90/92 M3 replica

the miro 318 is a e60 M5 replica.

Both look good IMO, but my choice would go for the m5......

Ahhhh gotcha makes sense. Thanks for the help guys. I think some flat black 19" 220's could look good on my AW 325.

I'll PM you Kenny

Hey artfiend I have the EXM4 in stock and I'm in So Cal and I can install them on your car for FREE. Let me know if you need some help with this. I also have the M3 reps in 18 inch.
