History
I purchased them used off of Ebay, about 6 months ago. I have never installed them. Was waiting until Spring...

Condition
They are in used condition with some light curb rash/scratches on 2 of 4. Please see the website for visual indication of scratches etc. You will see one of the wheels is severely scratched. The guy who sold them to me, poorly packed the lugs?they got loose and scratched the entire wheel. A 5th NEW wheel will be included in the sale as a replacement. All you need to do is take it to a tire shop and get it mounted and balanced. Also, one of the front tires has a small screw in it that will need to be patched. It is not anywhere near the sidewall, so it should be fine. Discount Tire does this for free. One of the rear tires looks like it may have a piece of gum stuck to it?.this is a patch completed by the previous owner. The tires are in good shape (besides the patching I discussed) and should easily last another two to three years, depending on how you drive. :)

Why are these for sale?
I wish I didn?t have to?.but they just do not fit my car (06 525xi). I had an 04 530i, but traded it in for an 06 525xi to deal with Chicago?s weather. Found out AFTER THE FACT, that the drive train in the AWD BMW?s are different in front (hub), therefore they require a different offset wheel size then RWD cars. I can?t use em?and if you own a 5 series xi?.neither can you! Call me stupid, whatever....I learned the hard way. I'm actually using the money from this to help me offset the cost of new 124's for my car, so it's not because I don't like em...

Lastly?.
Please call your closest BMW parts shop to verify these wheels/tires will fit your vehicle. They originally came off of a 2004 545i Sport Pkg. That said, they will fit most 5 series RWD vehicles.


I did my best to describe and show these wheels in the most accurate way possible. PM me if you're interested! THANKS!!

Goodluck on the sale, sucks you couldn't get to use them.

Wonder if this is a typo. Shouldn't the front be 245/40/18?

It is a typo, my bad.... :(

Fronts are 245/40R18 ... see if I can change that....thank you!

Are these reps?

They are original as far as I know. I bought them just last year and didn't take delivery from the dealership of the car they came from, so I guess I can't be 100% certain. He told me they came off of his 545i. If they were reps, I don't think they'd have the stock tires mounted. If you have a means for verifying, please let me know and I can snap some more shots and update the listing. Thanks.

look at behind of wheels and take pictures of it...

Pictures of the otherside of the wheels from have been uploaded to the website given. I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for, so if you need a particular close up, let me know. Thanks!

Mike - are your rims still for sale and if so would you be willing to ship them to Ottawa, Canada? What % of tread would you say is still remaining on the tires (66%, 75%, 90%)?

Many thanks,

BMW Rookie
