OEM M6-Style 167M for e60 M5 with Blizzak LM22 Perfect Condition
I am selling a set of Original-BMW M6-style double-spoke M wheels (Style 167M) for the BMW e60 M5 (2006 and newer).
These wheels were ordered from BMW Germany through my dealer in Massachusetts and were shipped in from Canada because of inavailability of the M6 on M5 wheel option in the USA (this option is available to the rest of the World).
The wheels are forged alloys as opposed to the cast alloys that come stock on the e60 M5 (Style 166M). They are lighter by around 2.2 pounds or 1 kg per wheel and that is very important when considering unsprung weight for performance and are also stronger. They also maintain a stock appearance that is more aggressive than the 166-style stock e60 M5 wheels. They come with the official M-badge and hub-cap.
They are fitted with unidirectional LM22 Blizzak performance winter tires in 255/40VR19, service description 100V, load rating XL (extra-load) (V-rating means speeds up to 150 mph) ($257 per tire from www.tirerack.com).
These tires have less than 3000 gentle miles on them (the car was in break-in period which is up to 3500 miles in e60 M5) and have sufficient tread for at least two more seasons.
The wheels are in perfect condition and have no scratches or scrapes with perfect finish on both the polished outer part and the painted inner part and spokes (gray metallic color, see pictures). They are also true and are indistinguishable from new.
The front wheels are in size 8 1/2J X 19 ET:12 (offset=12) BMW part#36117835146 ($809.10 per wheel)
The rear wheels are in size 9 1/2J X 19 ET:28 (offset=28) part#36117835148 ($831.42 per wheel)
The fronts are same as those that come on the new stock BMW M6 but the rears have a slightly different offset from BMW that is specific to the e60 M5. That is why you will get better results with this set compared to just getting rear wheels from the M6.
The total cost of replacement of this set not including mounting and high-speed balancing is $4308.
How much for the set and shipping cost?
Also, is it possible for me to just buy the wheels without the tires?
Final question, has it seen snow at all since you put a winter tires on I thought I might ask.
