All:Attached are pics per requests. Please note these caveats:
1) I removed the rear flat tire and then decided to sand the outer lip. Went a little overboard with the sanding and the whole outer edge is sanded and now is quite visible from 15 ft. My guess is that a purchaser may want to have the wheel resurfaced. Wheels America would charge $99, maybe less in this economy.
2) The other rear wheel has what appears to be an odd buildup around the hub which is strange in an alloy. I could not remove it with soap and water and will talk to a detail guy to see how to remove this buildup. It is not however a scrape or from damage.
3) The two fronts are in near new condition. Of course of the remaining 2 fronts in the boxes, the 1 has never been used and the other was the original wheel i consider defective and needing repair for balancing issues.
More pics to follow.

Folks, to be clear, this is for an E60.
Sorry AVATT, I'm not trying to block any potential sale. Just wanted to make members aware of all available info.
Good luck with the sale and Happy New Year!

FYI - For those who are interested, please be aware that the centerbore for these MIRO rims are slightly bigger 74.1mm vs. 72.6mm (for E60). So you might need hubcentric rings to avoid vibrations, if it happens. I know because I did some research before my purchase, as you can see the pix from my signature.

Thanks for the heads up...where did you pick up the hubcentric rings?

For those interested, I would contact Modbargains.com and discuss directly with them. I asked this very question of Modbargains and was told i did not need rings for the E60 M5. I do not know whether the center hub and wheel assembly are different for the E60 M5 vs the 5 series E60. These wheels fit perfectly on the M5 with no problems or vibrations. To the extent hub rings are needed, they r easy to obtain and not that expensive.

No problem. I went with OEM, no hubcentric rings needed. I believe you can pick those rings up from any wheel stores, I'd do a google and see if you find some locally. Good luck!
