Does anybody have any information about the wheels on the E60. Do wheels from any other BMW fit, or does the E60 have a totally separate set of wheels? Has anyone seen if there are E60 wheels out from other manufacturers as well?

Wheels from other BMW don?t fit E60.

Thanks. Another way for BMW to sell more wheels initially???

I have been told that wheels for E39 fit E60 - technically.

[I hope that this is true, as I have purchased both sets of wheels for my upcoming 530d based on this info]

Did this information come from BMW? What do you mean by technically? I have now got information from several others that they have been told that the wheels would not fit. Several of these have ordered E60's. For your sake I hope that your wheels will fit.

I think e39 wheels will fit. I don't think the wheel hub size is different in on the e60. My guess is the reason dealers say they don't fit is because the new run flat tires on e60 requires special wheels. So if you use the older e39 wheels, you can't use run flat tires. But if you don't care about run flat tires, I am sure you can use the older e39 wheels, or other third party wheels, as long as the hub size is the same.

E60

Run-flat tires can be used on all wheels.
I?m going to use non run-flat tires on E60 wheels, Starspoke 124 18?

Yes - this information came from BMW?s sales manager - and by "technically" I just meant that most of the wheels designed for E39 might be "visually challenging" on an E60.

Thank you for the information. I will then hang on to my E39 winter wheels for the E60. They should do their job there as well!

I am ordering a 545i 6sp which comes with 18s on it. I have a set of 17x8" E46 3-series wheels (style 47 - click here for the BMW wheels pix) that I want to use as snow tires. They should fit, right?
