    My guess ... NO.

    You won't know until you see them, but based on the limited information you provided, I'd say they're NOT OEM M5 wheel.

    1. They are too cheap, I'd hope that the owner of REAL M5 wheels would know a little more about what he's got, and what they're worth.

    2. Nitto tires? C'mon, who would put those on an M5?

    Cheap imitations would be my guess.

    some replicas come with the little ///M stickers.

    the sizes are right though.

    Get him to take a shot of the inner hub, that will have some BMW stampings if real.

    I don't think so. Something about them just doesn't look right to me. Although I could be totally wrong. I'm going on a gut instinct.

    Just because the ///M sticker is on there doesn't guarantee that they are ///M wheels. I saw an 330 last year running M3 wheels in the winter. They looked legit from 10 feet away, but on closer review they were actually 17" wheels, with the roundell stuck in the middle and the ///M logos glued on.

    Some replicas have the M indent with the badge. Only real way to check is by the insignia on the inside hub!
