do they make e39 m5 replicas? I am starting to like those wheels a lot, I was possibly thinking of getting them in black, I don't mind about having a lip when I look for rims. I drive a hellrot 325i. Any help would be appreciated, i'll get a pic later, that shows the side of my car, if a ps would be possible.

see sig below

What size are they, and what tire size are you running? What's the quality of the wheel?

They look great!

Thanks,
Dan

They made a couple PS on the BR forum sometime ago... They looked very good.

17" x *8 offset 41mm quite honestly not sure of the make but I believe the shop said they were Ronal of Germany. I use these for winter and they are quite good quality wheels. Hyper Black = good for dirt in the winter.

Oh yeah. 225R 45 17's Bridgestone LM Winters...

Awesome, I love the fact that they are 17s. I am getting a little sick of my 18s. Do you have a link to the place you bought them from?

Thanks!!

I bought a set of M5 reps from the link below. They sent new wheel bolts that were JUNK. Hand torquing them I had two of them snap. I bought these so I could use my stock wheels for track tires. I would not use them for track use though I believe they are fine for street use. They were made in Italy by FM. They were cheap at $840 delivered. One issue I don't like with them is they will get water in 5 voids inside the wheel between the bolt holes. The water then rusts the rotor. Deoending on how long it is before you take the wheel off is how much rust you get. This must be scrapped off with a paint scrapper/steel wool before you remount the wheel. I used some RTV where there is a hole going from outside passing thru to this void. Can't see the RTV and this has helped greatly at the amount of water that gets in the void. One more thing. With all the nooks and crannys on these wheels they will be harder to clean. Wish I had spent a little more and got a different easier to clean wheel. Any takers out there that want mine cheap?

i love the e39 M5 wheels but i cant stand when people get the replicas where all 4 wheels are the same width, if u get them get the wider size wheels in the back with the lip. i think they look very ugly if theyre all the same size:shifty

How cheap? Mildly interested, depending on price...
