They are good wheels from Japan, like he said above.

The U.S. Distributor is advantiwheel.com which is part of the Konig Group. You can go to their website as well.

those look nice. I've dealt with tunerworks in Calgary in the past and they are decent (I realize that you aren't buying them from tunerworks, but you may need to deal with them later). How much is the seller asking? Do you know the offsets? You will need to run some hubcentric rings with those for your e60 because the e39 bore size is a little bigger.

I have dealt with turnerworks before for my e30 M3. They were great! The guy is asking $2000 and says that there is one more year of tread on the rears and two more on the fronts. I love the deep dish of these wheels. If i use hubcentric rings to ensure good fit, would that cause any issues? I emailed the guy back about the offests. He forgot them, but says they fit his e39 just fine with no spacers (no rubbing).

FYI. In the past, Traffic Star wheels were brought over to the US by Dazz Motorsports and named Maya.

You won't have any issues with hubcentric rings that how I run my current wheels. My wheels right now are 19" DPE's that were made for a e39 M5 and I don't have any issues with the offset. However I think the offset for the regular e39 are different than the e39 M5, so you will want to make sure they fit. If they are local maybe go for a test fit, I did that with the guy I bought my wheels from.

Thanks for the info. The seller called turnerworks and was told that the offsets r the same and the wheels would fit just fine. I think a drive down to calgary is in order.
