    He doesn't seems knowledgeble on cars... but he tries to answer in the way he can... Yeah for guys like us... woulda have been a piece of cake to find out. In his response, he said he took them off 540i. Hey, if it is cheap, then kudos for who won it.

    Huh, I was under the impression that the E39 M5 wheels only came in 18" sizes, but the do appear to be genuine BMW with the M badges and everything.

    I'm gonna see if I can get in touch with him to check the wheels out in person. Any markings I should look for to clue me in as to who made these? Because I was under the impression those wheels only came in an 18x8 on the M5.

    The offset would have to be stamped on there somewhere, right?

    I'm pretty sure that genuine M5 wheels have a bit of a dish on the back where as the front doesn't. these don't appear to have any and like already said, i thought they only came in 18's. could easily be wrong though...

    Most replicas come with M badges anyway. They could be either made in Italy, Taiwan or China. Ask for a clear closeup picture inside the wheel. That should tell you whether they're original or not. If you don't get it... forget it. Buying used wheels off the net is a case of... "You pay your money and you take your chances!"

    Most likely to be replica... but then again... how much does it cost to get a replica set? You probably can't find any under $600 new a set..
