Hey guys, I am getting ready to purchase 1 front and 1 rear style 124 wheel to replace mine that were destroyed by a pot hole. Can anybody tell me if these wheels are in fact OEM? The price even beats Garry from Newport BMW so I am alittle concerned, however I am way out of my world as far as knowing what is what. Maybe some experts could shed some light Thanks in advance

**EDIT** Cancel that, I just answered my own question, reconditioned

I think the price is a bit high for a reconditioned wheel. Have you investigated having your wheels repaired?

It looks like my insurance is going to get me reconditioned wheels at 279 a piece, now I just have to have it towed to the dealer to see what other damages there are, suspension and what not

Good look with that... I turned into a cement light pole barrier at about 3 miles an hour in the dark (the damn light was out) in the pouring rain in a parking lot in my old E39 525i that had aluminum suspension (less than the E60 though)... Damage $5K !!!!!!
