This style of replica alloy is available in the UK,19" staggered 8.5"/9.5" with offsets suitable for the E60 saloon .
Any views on this compared with the slot-spoke version and has anyone fitted these to the E60?

Mmhh don't think these would look good on the E60..to bulky and sporty for my taste...but if you like them and the fitment is ok...go for it

those look like style 249's that come with the Non-M 6 series...

I've always wondered how these would look on an e60...

Yes,they look the same as the forged 249's on the E63 6 series.Another pic shows these:-

I am 99% positive that is a rendering you posted, as well as the first pic....why not just confirm the wheels style via any bmw website, configure a 6 series..


or check here: http://felgenkatalog.auto-treff.com/ this site will also give you offsets so you can better estimate if they would fit...but since you are looking at reps, we'd need to know the offsets for the reps in question...

AFAIK, no one has fitted 249's on an e60...

You are 100% positive!
I guess it's just another marketing ploy that the reps are being advertised as the latest M6 style.I think that they have saturated the market for the rep 167's,so many sizes and offsets for so many models.
The current BMW configurator for the M6 only shows the 166 and 167 alloys.
