E39 1996-2003 For Sale Feeler: 4 OEM M5 Rears $1400 - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

Thinking about selling my track wheels and going with an E36 M3 for next year. They're OEM M5 rears "refinished" (powder coated) with a gunmetal/shiney grey color. Hard to describe and pictures don't do them justice at all. They're in good shape with no bends or cracks. Just have some cone skuff marks on them which come up pretty easily with some polish.

They're currently wrapped up in 265/35/18 BFG R1s with two of them having tons of life left them and the other two got corded on the outer egdes a bit because of a blown shock in the front. They can be flipped and AutoXed but I would not risk doing road courses on them.

I'm in no hurry at all to sell so I'm taking offers at this point...I've got well over 2400 into this setup alone...

I can get close ups of them tomorrow in the light to try and show how nice these look in person but for now, here is how they looked after an event...

No they don't

They're been masked

They look a lot nicer then when I sent them to you! lol.

Good luck with the sale! If this was about a month from now I would be all over them... need to buy a few other things first.

There is a good chance they will be available in a month

I'm still trying to figure out what I'm going to race next year. Spent the weekend racing an E36 M3 with coilovers and completely dominated, something I never really did in the M5

Thank you to all 7 of you who sent me PMs... I will get pictures of them up close as soon as I get home tonight. Try to catch them in the day light so you can see the powder job on them...

I'm intrigued... but I won't be using them until June or so, so I'm a bit hesitant. Maybe if you're selling them in the spring? haha

Just curious, did you pick 265s because those tires run wide? I know my 205 Kumho V710s are about as wide as a 225 of most other tires.

jrhaile · 20th October 2009, 19:07

Yeah I went with 265s to ensure no rubbing. When I measured them compared to my 275 Dunlop Z1s they were a little less than 1/2" wider than the 275 Dunlops. They're essentially 285 streets.

Best I could do right now

This is the worst of the 4 wheels as far as condition goes...
