Guys,
It's time to move out the Nova 7s as they're just sitting around since I put some Style 32s on the 740iL (Frankensieben). The sizes are 20x9 fronts and 20x10 rears. Don't get too excited because the chrome is peeling on the lips (I just didn't keep them clean enough) so they could either use a rechrome or zap the chrome and return them to the silver center with machined lip (Wheels America or joint of your choice).
Otherwise, the wheels are straight with no nastiness aside from the chrome. If you're going to put them on an E38, you can skate by for a little bit with the Bridgestone S-03s on them before buying new tires. I'm not claiming they have some percent tread, but hey, when I'm buying crap my wife doesn't approve of I like to spread out the cost. When I put the Style 32s on I had new tires mounted on them rather than pay to dismount the tires on the Hartges to milk the S-03s. Either the fronts or rears have a pretty good chunk of meat left. The sizes are 255/35 fronts and 285/30 rears.
These wheels are for E38s. You can remove the Hartge hub rings to run them on an E39, but I have no idea what size rear tire you could find that would be happy on 10" wide rears. I've seen an E39 or two with Nova 7s in 20x9 all around with 255/30 tires, but none with 20x10s in the back. So, I'd suggest these just be used on an E38.
I really, REALLY prefer a buyer who will pick them up in Huntington Beach, CA. I've shipped a few sets of wheels in the past (I'm a wheel geek) and getting lazy.
Here's a lame photo, but you get the idea:

Two more equally lame pics are on the Frankensieben link in my sig.
You can email me at dmclaren@bbesound.com if you're interested.
Thanks for checking this out.
