I do believe these are E39 M5 wheels that came on one of my cars. Can anyone verify? They are also not staggered, all 4 are 18x8. What are these worth? The tires are shot and 2 have minor very repairable curb rash.

E39 M5's came with staggered wheels. There were a number of replicas out there that people acquired. Best way to tell is to flip it over and let's see the back of the wheels.

They are clones for sure. The raised "tuning fork prongs" on OEM ones have a bit of a curve to them as they meet the rim.

I looked but couldn't see tonight, they wheels are nasty on the back and it was getting dark. Will check tomorrow.

You sir are correct. So, $400 for the set reasonable if I were to sell them?

With two shot tires, and the wheels being replicas, that might be a little steep.
