Default BMW Style 250 Wheels 18x8 + Blizzak WS60 245/40 + TPMS: WINTER SETUP

Selling my winter setup, I used these only 1 time in the past 2 years so time to unload and free up some space in the garage.

BMW Style 250 (oem 7 series and 5 GT)
18x8 et30 5x120
Blizzak WS60 245/40/18
TPMS

Wheels have some cosmetic blemishes in the form of chips and curb rash (from previous owner) but no structural damage. Wheels are a great fit for winter use as they are nice but not too nice where you feel bad using them in harsh winter conditions. The blemishes can be seen in the photos, 2 of the wheels have "FR" and "LR" written on them in sharpie, it can be buffed out but I never bothered to do so.

Tires are in excellent shape with less than 5,000 miles on them, no plugs or anything of the sort. Wheels are balanced and include oem BMW TPMS sensors.

Wheels will clear E60 M5 brakes.

Looking to sell locally but might consider shipping if they don't move.

You can use this calculator to see how they will fit relative to your current wheels:

I'd be tempted if you were local. GLWS.

Although I prefer the ease of selling locally, shipping is possible. Greyhound Express is probably the best value for shipping wheels + tires like this, probably around ~$100.

I got a $500 deal a couple of years back with the same tires as yours, but non-OEM (ugly) wheels. I say I'd be tempted if you were local because I really like the 10-spoke look on my car. (I have 166 reps for the summer.) I still have 2 more seasons left on my snow tires, so from a practical standpoint, I'm better off sticking with what I have.

BTW, I haven't heard good things about shipping things through Greyhound. Although the price may be right, their service is horrible. The ETA of your merchandise is very dependent upon the excess capacity they have on the bus. If they're full, your merch just sits in a warehouse somewhere until space becomes available.

All my experiences have been great but I could see how this could be an issue for some, especially on multi bus trips if they have connections and varying occupancy.

The tires are great, in all honesty I don't have much time driving with winter tires but the Blizzaks certainly performed well when I gave them a good romp.

just to help you guys out with shipping - open an account with www.shipnex.com
Their prices are pretty reasonable, I've paid $30 per wheel to ship from MN to NY

Since you're convinced it would clear M5 brakes, colour me interested.
Downside is: the tire size is wrong for an M5.
Any interest in selling the wheels alone?
Also, are these wheels OEM BMW wheels?Would you know if Greyhound Express can deliver in Toronto, ON, Canada?
Thanks!
