Use this winter package alternative in all but the most severe climates/conditions. Set of four (4) 2004'-2008' BMW (E60) 5-Series Factory-OEM wheels and tires. Wheels are style #138; spider-spoke design. Sizes are 17"x7.5 all around with 225-50HR17. The tires are Continental ContiTouringContact CV95 (factory) with only 2500 driven miles. MSRP for the wheels is $1,328 without the tires. This set fits all 2004' and newer 5 Series and early 5, 6, 7 and 8 series. Wheels have no marks and center caps are included. I am an 9,000/year guy and I have used them for 2 seasons, mid-nov to mid/march. The rims are in 9.5 out of ten shape, kept indoors. Great for E60 w/sport package. Will NOT fit the "xi" models, due to the different offsets. $800 will ship for $125. Jeff 617-966-8800.

Not really a "winter package" alternative. These are all seasons tires and not made for snowy icy winter driving. I suggest E60 drivers go to Tire Rack and find the actual winter setup. Just a bit of snow will cause these tires to slip. I had the and changed immediately to Conti 810s which are great.

Sir,

In no way do I miss-represent what I am offering here! Please again read my post. This is an "alternative" There are areas in the USA that do not get much actual snow or it does not stay very long but do get cold and the roads do get pot holes. Going down to 17's with a wider sidewall will give a softer ride and be less susceptible to the winter rode hazards here in the US.

well said seller. I dont think you were misrepresenting at all. These are just fine for people that dont have 50% or more snow driving in the winter season. Nice set, but would they fit the 550 brakes?

Hey Jeff - You should probably mention that these will NOT fit the "xi" models, due to the different offsets. As you probably know, the AWD models have an offset double that of the RWD models. Just a heads up.

Good luck with the sale!

PS - Congrats on your Red Sox, even though I'm a Yanks fan.
