BMW M5 OEM winter tires and rims. - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

Set of four (4) factory winter tires and rims for '06 BMW M5.
I ordered these when I purchased my first M5 and discovered how poorly the stock M5 tires perform in snow/ice.

They have less than 900 miles on them.
Original invoice was over 5K.

Offered for $2,500 plus shipping costs.
Located in Southeastern MA.

Note: These rims and tires are for the E60 M5 and are factory recommended (and supplied). The standard summer tires and rims that come with the E60 M5 are 19". The factory winter tires and rims are 18" because the winter tires have a slightly higher profile. According to BMW winter tires on 19" rims may cause interference.

The tires are Michelin Pilot Alpin 245/45R18

As requested, here's some pictures:

They are in a rented storage facility. I'll take some pictures the next time I go over there.

OEM center caps included?

How far are you from Boston/Newton?

The existing center caps stay with the spindle when you remove the rim. The rims have an empty hole in the center and the center cap fits in it.

Edit: Now that I think about it, I am not sure the above is true. When I had the winter rims and tires installed there was a center cap, but it is probably the center cap from the summer rims. So, If you have M5 rims, you use the center caps from them. If you don't have M5 rims then these don't have them.
Hope that makes sense.

I am in Duxbury on the south shore. About 15 miles north of Plymouth on Rt.3

Would they fit a M6? Thanks.

I don't know for a fact, but I suspect yes. The M5 and the M6 are basically the same car with a different body style.

Tallahassee, FL? You don't need winter tires, you lucky devil.

No, but I do need track wheels. Thanks!

Well, remember. These are 18" winter tire rims, not the standard 19".
