    Bought an X5. Need help identifying the extra set of wheels

    I recently bought a LeMans Blue 2006 X5 4.8is to replace my old e36. The previous owner included a set of winter wheels with the sale, but as I live in Texas I have little use for them. I want to sell, but I don't know what kind of wheels they are. They look OEM to me. Any help is appreciated!

    Thanks for the heads up Dennis. They are showing up for me, but here is a link to the pictures as an alternative: http://imgur.com/a/6OORu

    Hopefully that works. Any help is appreciated!

    Hi,

    They're either genuine E60 M5 wheels and will be Style 166M staggered at 8.5x19 ET 12 fronts and 9.5x19 ET28 rear, with genuine markings and part numbers on the rear of the wheel, or they're fake wheels.

    The genuine set will be worth a lot more than the fakes, but perhaps less so as they're chrome. If they're fakes and chrome, they're not worth much at all really and I'd say salvage the tyres and sell the wheels for whatever they go for.

    Cheers, Dennis!

    Thanks a lot Dennis. My particular set is not staggered. I will take a look on the rear for genuine markings & part numbers.

    Turns out they are replicas. So I will just let them go for whatever I can get.
