Selling a set of average condition wheels and tires that came off a 2008 BMW 5 series 535XI. The wheels have 43 offset (will fit well on XI models) and will work with spacers on non-XI models. The snow tires were used only for 10000-11000 miles and have fair thread (about 7/32).

The rims are are 8 x17 ET43 Style 243. Offset on the wheels is +43. They have a fair bit of scratches from the years of use, but no bends and are balanced.

Comes with 4 OEM TPMS sensors already installed and OEM centercaps.

Tires are 225/50/17 Blizzak WS 60 winter tires.

$500 firm cash picked up.

If really interested, can post pictures. Sorry no shipping.

Most of the black edges are just brake dust with a few real curb rashes.

Just noticed, this rim only what looks like an edge bend - no impact on the rim. Does not affect on the drivability or vibrations

 

Trying to decide which way to go on a 535i. Regular tires or the run flat tires. Any suggestions?

 

IMHO unless you have the compact spare and tool kit (or want to buy one) and if you do any serious travel out of your immediate area I recommend RFTs .

The newest generation of RFTs (all season or summer-only) have improved a bit, are less harsh riding, and somewhat (a little) forgiving of potholes. At the very least look for one of the brands with a good customer rating and include a road hazard warranty or if the price is right buy one separately ... Tirerack shows that info / detail.

Good luck with your decision - remember if you shop/buy on line through the link in my signature you'll earn a few extra $$'s in cash rebates.

 

I'm looking for another set of wheels for my 530xi - My current winter rubber will be done after this season, and I've only got one set of wheels now (I like to have a set for winter and a set for not winter). I like the price, but I'm not exactly in the neighborhood.

 

u3b3rg33k - where are you located?

oliviamichael - the way I think of it is how much each of them is going to cost and what your driving conditions are going to be. RFTs are a harder louder ride, but since my BMW assist is over, I don't mind the option of paying a little extra to be able to drive to the next town and not wait for AAA. If you find a good set, go for it. For winter tires, RFTs are much more expensive and only have a limited set of options, so non-RFT Blizzaks have been my tire of choice. I will be moving from MA to southern PA so basically won't be seeing as much snow. I picked up a great all-season RFT set that I have put on and I hope they will last me the whole year.

 

I'm in WI. I guess I'll have to update that...

 

Interested in your wheels, PM sent.
