Gents-

I bought this beautiful set of OEM M6 rims from an M6 owner who upgraded to 20's after only 80 miles of driving on them. I?m not joking when I say that when I saw them, he could have told me they were brand new and I wouldn?t have thought twice. They still have the slippery clear coat on them and show no signs of wear or road debris marks/scuffs. You could eat off the inside of these rims they are so clean and have NO brake dust at all. Again these are basically like new condition. There is one tiny mark on one wheel likely from leaning it against something and it might be able to be buffed out, but honestly I don?t think anyone would even care or even see it. If I didn?t tell you about it, I?m very confident that you wouldn?t find it. I?m a very detailed person and looked them over thoroughly before buying and never saw it. It is not on the polished face. I finally saw it when I was putting on a coat of wheel wax by hand to protect the clear coat. I?ll take a pic of it. I put on Conti Sport Contacts after buying because the M6 tires would have rubbed. Just got the tires 2-weeks ago. The wheels also come with BMW center caps and metal valve stems (No TPMS ? my 550i uses FTM which uses the rotors and does not use sensors).



The wheels are the M style 167 Double Spoke design and are ultra lightweight wheels. They are factory polished to give that added luster. The sizes are 19X8.5 in the front and 19X9.5 in the rear. They will fit any non-xi E60 models 525, 545, 550, E63/E64 645 or 650 BMW. They are the M6 version, which has the perfect rear offset to make the rims sit flush with the fender and not requiring spacers. I think this is the single best upgrade you can do to a stock 5-series to make your car stand out. The kit is great too, but my opinion is that really only BMW enthusiasts notice the body kit.

PLEASE NOTE.....The PICS ARE with the old M6 rubber on there, which are the same type as the one's I bought just larger. The new ones are 245/35 and 275/30. I will take some new pics as well and post.


PM me an offer??.. (no low balls please, as I will just keep them if they don?t sell)

How much is Garry Romani (BMW of Newport, Rhode Island) asking for these wheels, since he gives E60.net members a 25% discount on all OEM wheels?

melimel

shit i gotta start adding more money to my stash fast!!! i cant take this anymore...

Gene

Gary is quoting 166's at around ~$1600, I would think 167's are in that ball park as well.


To the OP, GL with sale, your price point is almost and/or at dealer price

tex_phil

4500 for m6 wheels, damn didn't know they were that much.

jcool10181

Nice wheels! GL w/ the sale. Market price for these should be a little under 2k.

DrLev99

The 167's are forged and not in the same ballpark as far as pricing or weight as the 166's. If I remember correctly, Gary asks closer to $2400 or more. I am pretty sure I pm'd him once re: these.

Gene

Thanx for the clarification Doc

Gene

dealer would charge about that...I was quoted about 3K-4K for 166's by my local dealers, as the Doc said: 167's cost more...


Again, GL with sale: 167's look great on non M5 e60's.

Tbone550i

thanks. I also called Gary Romani when I was looking and I believe the $2400 number mentioned was right (that was wheels only and shipping to DC from CT I think.....no tires or center caps). Unfortunately these are not quite the same type of wheel as the 166.

Feel free to make me an offer.......
