Saw cheap E39 M5 wheels on eBay... Thought you might want a set

[Beez540]

I went and looked at them. They are replicas. They are 17x7.5. The little m badge is a sticker, and it's not on quite straight on a couple of them...lol. There is some paint fade, although they might be good candidates for some custome refinishing. Perhaps a black powdercoat on the wheel and polish the lip.

The offset is ET20. They look straight, and felt fairly light.

I'm trying to decide if they'd be worth my trouble if I could get them for less than $200... since I don't have to have them shipped. I would want to refinish them though, and after it's all said and done I could've spent all the money on a nicer set of wheels.

$270 Ended... Shadow Chrome does look kinda faded... I got a set of 16 myself.

definately replicas... the original chrome shadow wheels are DARK, you can spot them from a mile away..

i've never seen a staggered (correct term?) set of replicas... by that i mean 8" width at the front and 9" at the back.. primarly because 9" is too tight a fit under the lip of most BMWs, and it goes past the limits of most insurance companies!

not that there's anything wrong with replicas, considering the price

Did u buy it?

[Beez540]

Did u buy it?

nope. I would've done it for $200 maybe (I'm cheap ), but I knew people would bid higher than that.


As soon as I rid myself and get a return on the damn ET38 racing dynamics I ended up with AND get my tax return, I'm gonna settle on something.

I'm thinking about these ASA R1's in a 17x8. How do you think they'd look on Green 540 with dark tinting? (the website way to look at it sucks for certain wheels)

Mmm... not spectacular in style... I think it is almost like regular cross-spokes of BMW E46 wheels...

I have a set of BMW 7 spokes 3 pieces for sale... however pricy... this ebay link is an example of what I have... I am not that seller...

These are the hottest wheels to put on our E34 in my opinion.

[Beez540]

not too frickin' shabby, do you know how much they weigh? Those are definitely out of my price range though.

[Tiger]

they are light... I haven't had them dismounted yet. I am not asking $2000 for those... more like $1200 or so.

[Beez540]

so they have tires on them? what are you replacing them with?
