There are a lot of shops that sell parts from salvaged cars. I use them the most (e.g. google weber brothers auto, they have 3-4 E60s everytime I call them)

  1. Post a WTB in the personal classified of this forum
  2. Visit local dealers for take-offs they might be willing to sell
  3. Shop Craigslist / Ebay with extreme caution
  4. ALWAYS ask for pictures and if any repairs (esp cracks) have been made to used rims.
  5. Specify style number and size you are interested in purchasing - I'm SURE you realize that wheel offset is a critical measurement if you have an all-wheel model 5'er.
Good hunting!

I have a set of 172 OEM wheels from my 550i Sport for sale. Brand new refinish. Not a scratch. Just had them custom painted black with red pinstripe. Would look very hot on a white or jet black e60. Mine is Carbon Black and I preferred the machined finish look with the Carbon so I switched them. Paint is glossy outer with matte inner (no brake dust shows). Done by high dollar pro body shop and look very high end and classy. Cost for paint was $1K. That is what I'd like to sell them for but I'd consider offers. They are truly better than new. Set will include BMW center caps and M inserts (shown). You will need to by the TPM stems if your car is equipped with Tire Pressure Monitor.

This is a staggered set.

19x8.5 Front
19x9.5 Rear

Thanks for the link, but that site seems to carry wheels for only 2005 and older models
