Hi. Just bought 05 545i. Looks like it has s sport package, but for some reason it's on stock 17" wheels.
This is what i found on Craigslist
http://newyork.craigslist.org/stn/pts/1165515841.html
What do you guys think? Will it fit my car? Is it a good price?
Any opinions on general?
Thanks!

They will fit, but you may consider some rims from the vendors. P14's would look sick

Spend some time looking around at different pictures on this forum. There are tons of wheel choices and you should take some time to figure out what you really want so you don't have wheel envy later on.
