I am looking at a M5 to purchase and it has what looks like ACS wheels on it that the seller is claiming were an option when he purchased the car. I emailed him to confirm this.

This is the first I have ever heard of this and was curious to see if it is indeed an available option at the time of if he is bs-ing.

Thanks for the feedback. Attached is the link... I have NO affiliation with this sale or the seller.

I dont think they came from the factory as this is the only one I have seen. If they were an option, I think more would have them...... What's the point in BS'ing that??? ouich

He may not be BSing you.

These may be a "dealer installed option" which means "anything the dealer wants to do".

They are not a 'factory' option.

But whatever- plenty of cars sold with aftermarket wheels. (And the center BMW insignia snaps into any wheel with a centerbore.)

Good Luck

One problem is if everything works out and they are real ACS wheels, I don't know if you still can buy those wheels...just incase you bent/ crack one...and the way i see it it doesn't matter if it was an added option from the dealer or not he would have paid extra for them anyway...just my 2 cents...

Just a dealer installed option, I have seen that locally before (though never those wheels in particular).

Whether the seller know nothing about about it , or its a BS.

Second of all, the wheel is a knock-off replica of ACS Type II-3pc.
The real ACS has different shape of the step lip. And the shape of the spoke is very distinct.
