Reply With Quotedish looks flat like a 3 series wheel. I think you can check fit with the Beyern web site beyernwheels.com. I also like their Mesh wheels. At least I do from their magazine ads as I like a deep dished wheel. Never seen them on a five series.

Cheap Wheels - Chrome on eBay - Discount Tire Direct
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/4-17x...temZ8065571628
Came across these wheels on eBay. Good size and offset. Don't know the brand personally and don't like chrome but they might be a good deal for someone. I like Discount Tire Direct because there is FREE SHIPPING.
I've bought several sets of tires on eBay through them as well as a few single tires here and there. Once even got free mounting and balancing from one of their Discount Tire stores after showing them that I bought the tires from their Direct source.

I agree, that does look like a 3 series wheel.Originally Posted by Russell

Ad says offset is 15mm which pushes the wheel out toward the wheelwell 5mm more than stock 20mm. They are 8.5" wide and with that width, I think 15mm is geared toward centering with a view to running a larger tire size than on say a 17 x 8. I have had a set of 17 x 8.5 15mm wheels on a previous 530 and they worked excellent. Anyway, these are not for the purist crowd.
Personally, I think there are only one wheel should be on an E34, the M5 wheel, with or without throwing star. But that's just me.

Correction, they are 8" wide not 8.5" wide.

Hey Grand Master. The offset on 3 series wheels is more like 35.

This reminds me, does anyone want my old honeycomb 15" wheels off of my '94 540i? I have Borbets now and have no need for the originals. Here's the thing, they are chrome and the chrome is badly peeling and oxidized, so they would have to be refinished. -- Mike
