Hello! I'm planning to buy these OEM Breyton Spirit wheels made in Germany staggered without tires. These are size 19X9 front and 19X9.5 offset 18 with 72.56mm bore. There are minor scratches on the edges and the guy is selling it for $600. Is this good price and a good fitment for 2006 530i sport? Thanks as usual for generous advice.

Price is pretty cheap, but cheap is relative.

Also member Dbae1978 is selling a set for his friend:

Look at those prices and you decide if its a good deal.

Well, $600 easily could turn into $1000 depending on the refinishing needed. You might want to check the classifieds. As others have said, the fitment is hubcentric and the offset and sizes should not pose any problems.

I would be wary, for $600 these wheels are either a really good deal, bent, damaged, or should have been sold by now. When you go check them out in person, make sure they look ok and if there is any damage, that it is repairable. I had this happen to me personally and I was not happy (spent $1k on a set of expensive wheels with tires shipped across the country and later found that they were slightly bent which caused steering wheel vibration).
The wheel width looks good for the front and back (same widths on the VMR wheel setups in 19''). Since yours has a lip though, the wheels might look a tad small on your car in 19''. Most people who run wheels with lips go 20''+.
Also, you didn't mention the offsets but I assume they are E60 safe. If they're ridiculously low (like -XX to 0) or ridiculously high (like +30+) then they will either not fit or look funny since they won't fill out the wheel well and could rub on the inside. Ask for the offsets and report back here with them.
