Hey guys,
I've been looking for some snow tires and came across some wheels as shown below. Apparantly they came off a 2006 7 series. Does anyone recongnize the model? Will they fit my 2004 e60 without any problems? If so, what do you figure they are worth?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Marco

My Ride: 535d Sport, carbon black, media pack, visibility pack, grey leather, heated seats, sun protection glass, voice control, Eibach ProKit, 19" 166 style wheels, e-maps ECU remap to 325hp and 640NM, top speed limiter removed
The BMW name for these is LA wheel star spoke 95.
The wheels are indeed of a 7 series and are 9x19 ET24 front and 10x19 ET24 rear.
Fitting the wheels with the correct 5 series tyre sizes to an E60 is no problem at all and also won't catch, but these do not have the correct tyre sizes for your car, but tyres for a 7 series. So in this case they probably will not fit properly and your speedo will be out nicely as the rolling radius and circumference will be out.
Looks like the 9x19 are fitted with 245/45/19. A 5 series would need 245/35/19. Difference in RC would be about 7.5 %, meaning when your speedo reads 70 you are travelling over 75mph. Apart from the more important fact that the overall dia of the wheel will not be liked by your arches

Here's a pic from the forum which seems to show the same wheels on an E60 (middle car).
