sorry guys, i still have to buy tires for the rims
So pics in 2 weeks.
But what do you think of the price for the 4 rims?

 

For brand new OEM M166, 1000 Euro, or about $1300 USD is a very good price. Where did you get them and where are you located? Did that price include shipping?

 

Thank you.
I bought them from a guy who changed car so he hadn't had the time to put them on.
So they where brand new in the box.
I can give you the adress in germany where he bought them.
He payed 1355 euro for the 4 rims.

 

SX125. Which size tyres will you go for ?

I have also bought some 19 inch 166 style wheels. They are already included with tyres. The tyre size is the standard M5 size, so 255/40 at front and 285/35 at the rear. I am just wondering will these be okay for a standard E60 ? Or do you think they might protrude from the arches (back/front or both) ?

The reason I queston it is because the 172's are the same size alloy, but the recommended tyre size for those is 245/35 and 275/30 for front and rear respectively.........i.e. presumably designed for the standard sport model (non M car).

Any one else on this forum running M5 tyres on a non M car..........what are your experiences about the way the wheels look in the arches.

Thanks guys.

 

I just ordered the 245/35 and 275/30 tyres, because everyone is saying that the original M5 tyres will hit the fenders.
Also the wheels will get bigger, so your Tacho isn't correct anymore.
I will go for the 245/35 and 275/30

Hope that helps
