Selling wheels because my supercharged M5 needs all the help it can get putting power to the ground. 18” wheels help that because of the taller sidewall. In any event, the wheels are perfect (no road rash – pictures attached) and if you were to purchase this package brand-new from the Tirerack, the price would be $3,463 before tax and shipping.

2 19x9.5 Bright Silver w/Polished Stainless Steel Lip
2 275/30YR19 Bridgestone Potenza S-03 Pole Position
2 285/30YR19 Bridgestone Potenza S-03 Pole Position
The wheels and tires have approximately 3,500 miles on them – one of the front tires is brand new (never driven on) because the original tire was defective.
I'm interested in the set (I was actually on the verge of purchasing the same set in black) - however, I have to wait to see how my insurance in going to come out on some hail damage the beast just suffered... If they're still around in a week or so, I'll get back with you...
Just curious - how many miles were lost in burnouts? j/k

I already bought Dinans and put BMW logos on them. They don't look quite as nice, but if I stare at them long enough, I can convince myself that they do

Actually, as strange as this may sound, I have yet to do a burnout since I got the car back. I guess I don't feel the need to since it is so easy and I'm more interested in getting the power to the ground. So, the answer is... none.
PS -- you could buy these and paint the centers black and still save a lot.

Did you get a chance to read the e39 M5 article in the May issue of Performance BMW out of the UK regarding the ONLY 2 Supercharged e39 M5 on the planet?
Well ... I was really pissed off after I read the part where it said that these 2 e39 M5's that they were reviewing were the ONLY 2 Supercharged e39 M5's in the Universe. What irresponsible journalism ! ! ... and whichever person approved (I assume it was the editor of the mag) that article should really be terminated from their position. Just my .02

No, I did not see the article -- sounds pretty uninformed. I'll bet there are about 12 in the world and I'll also bet that out of all of those, there are only about 5 or 6 in the US. Out of those 5 or 6, I'll bet that only 3 to 4 run well and with no SES lights.
One thing I am sure of -- I am the only one in the world that has had a chance to have 3 tuners work on the same car to be supercharged. Out of the 3, only Active Autowerke got it right. Facts are facts -- opinions are guesses.
