My Ride: 2008 550i (E60) - Titanium Silver | Black Dakota w/ Bamboo Anthracite | Sports Package | Premium Package | Steptronic | Navigation | Logic 7
Former:
1995 540i MSport (E34) - 6sp, B&M Short Shift | Dinan Intake | Dinan Exhaust | Dinan Chip
1987 325iC (E30) - sold
Personally I don't think those will look all that good on an E60.
I had the OEM Msport wheels which look almost exactly like those on my e34 and it looked nice in my opinion but they are over 15 years old at least now...

3 things:
real MPs were never 19" and they were supposedly forged 18X8 and 18x9.5s only
The 3K price is not reasonable.
They are beautiful on any car, and have a timeless look.

Those are e39 wheels, and reps at that bc they only came in 18's. That price is crazy. I would not do it, not on an e60. It will make your car look dated to anyone that knowws BMW's.

I tried this rims when I first got my car. It was from my previous e39. It is an OEM m parallel in 18". It didn't look good and decided on another rim. Here is a pic.

35% tint all around

I think those wheels are great classics, and are an eye catcher no matter how dated they are. However these guys are right, that price is a huge rip off because the are reps. Maybe at $1000 they would be a good buy.

That is why I love this site!!! Thanks for the info and feedback. I agree, too much cash! I love the 4" lip though!! Thanks for the education on the real MP wheels. Finding sweet wheels is a challenge!I want 166s, but hard to find used here in Canada, and too much for new! Spring is coming, and I want at lesst 19"! The search continues!!!
