As the title says, I found not a leaky tire from puncture, but a cracked rim! literally rim, as the crack is on the inside, and at the bead point. I was told to get it fixed, but not when it's a 300 k/hr car, and regularly sees +200k/hr. No reparo, thank you very much. I'm not that stupid.
So, in essence, I need at least -one- E39 M5 OEM style/type Rear wheel, the ones that are , what, 9.5"?, for the 275/35R/18's on the rear of the car.
thanks!

Ebay has some OEM wheels sometimes. Be ware of the replicas.
One time I went to Chatsworth, CA to check out some " chromed " OEM wheels. I found out that the stamping on the back of the wheels are totally different than the OEM stampings evnthough there is " BMW" words stamped on the back.

ok, Paul, I'm interested. but, I'm looking for cheapies. Ie, non perfect. I'm usually driving fast enough that no one gets to look at them for inspection purposes. Just the "WTF was that?? (that just flew by)" response.
