hi guys, just wanted to ask, do the 172m fit 525d? or do i need some extras to make them fit, AND what are the typical tyre sizes for them?

Yes they fit no problem and they look great. Tires need to be 245/35/19 front and 275/30/19 rear and you will have no issues

Hi AngelEyes, they fit fine and look very nice.

Tires 245/35 and 275/30.

I was going to ask the same thing, if they are OEM - do it!!! If they are reps, forget them, there's no telling the quality of reps. They look like they just need a good cleaning ( I HIGHLY recommend P21S wheel cleaner) and they will be good as new.

You should also check (ask) what www.BMAutosport.co.uk has to offer!
Very good service and great prices!

Good luck with the purchase!

he has a good feedback, so i think il take his word for it, but is there anyway to double check?

It should be stamped behind the wheels if they're OEM, but anyway I think that price is ridiculous as they are used wheels.

I'm not sure if Mark at BMAutosports currently have these, but I would take these from him ASAP.
