FOR TRACK? Set of four OEM 18x9.5 wheels with Toyo RA1 tires 275/35/18 - PICS
Set of four BMW (factory) 18x9.5" rear M5 wheels for sale
These wheels are ideal for anyone looking for a perfect set of wheels and tires for track or autocross use. The tires on them are Toyo RA1 in 275/35/18 size. You can see that they are at their maximum grip level and have about 4/32" of tread left, and are evenly worn. The tires were just flipped on the rims and rebalanced and probably have at least 3-4 more road course events or a lot more autocross events worth of life left.
Here are individual pictures of each wheel along with any trouble spots on the wheel itself, taken in close up form. If you need larger pictures of anything please let me know.
Right now, I do not want to split them up into pairs and would prefer to sell them as a full set of four. I would like $1800 plus actual shipping for all four together. They do not come with center caps or spacers or lug bolts. You can get 3mm spacers and longer lug bolts from TireRack for a nominal charge to allow you to run the rear wheels on the front of your M5. 540 owners may require wheel well modification and/or fender lip rolling to install these with proper clearance.
Here are pictures of each wheel, followed by any major or minor problem areas on each wheel, and finally a picture of each tire's tread left:
Wheel #1
Wheel #2
Wheel #3
Wheel #4 - THIS WHEEL HAS BEEN REFINISHED
Let me know if you have any questions. I have personally seen many street wheels that look a lot worse than these! These are ideal for track wheels/tires, but would be fine for street also, assuming your existing wheels are not as nice.

Whate are the details for putting the 9.5's on the front. I was on the phone with TireRack today and they said if you want to go with the same size x 4, you have to use the 8's. BTW, this is not what I have heard from other M5ers. If the switch is easy, I'm interested.

You need 3mm spacers and 3mm longer lug bolts. Many, many members here have done this. TireRack (Luke actually) sold me the spacers and lug bolts himself.
Shipping to Rockville won't even be very expensive...
