Guys, stumbled across these for sale in my area. They came off of an e39 M5 and are 19's. I have e-mailed seller for more info but still no response. Anyone know what rims these are ? Would you put them on your M5 ? Seller is asking $800 for all 4 in mint condition.
Let me know what you think.

You get what you pay for.

They look ok, I'm my opinion e39 needs something more with a curve so it follows the body lines. They would look better on e60, just my humble opinion.

First thing I would be asking are the wheels hubcentric? If they are not then I wouldn't even bother regardless of how they may appear to be. From a looks perspective these wheels would be better suited on something other than an E39 M5.

OP, do YOU like them? That is the only opinion that matters.

As others have noted, ideally you want them hubcentric, although you can go 3mm if you need a little spacer. 74.1 bore, unlike most other BMW's.

If you like them, they fit, and the price is right, go ahead.

Regards,
Jerry

I had mixed opinions when I saw them, that's why I wanted your opinions. No info on them yet from seller. You don't find used aftermarket rims that fit e39 m5's often here in Montreal. I'll try to find out if they are hub centric . Only info I have is that they are 19's.

My neighbor has these on his e46. No complaints

Get the widths and the offsets.

As was said, your opinion is what counts. But since you asked...

I think the E39 looks best with concave spokes. Not a fan of the convex spokes on these wheels.

Stern ST-2 is the wheel / model.

I believe these were being sold all over ebay years ago.

I am not a huge fan of those rims, prefer stock over them.

If you are having mixed emotions on the wheels, unless you're getting a killer deal, I would pass. In my opinion, if you're making cosmetic mod's then they should evoke a positive emotion immediately. It should not be something that you feel "m'eh" about or should have to grow on you. There is something that, to my eye at least, is not quite right about them on the e39 in the picture but, at the end, it is only your opinion that matters.

 

[lurch09]

They're okay, IMO. I'd side with AGM5, if you don't love them, you probably have your answer.

I like the generous lip. I like the spun aluminum look (if that's what I am seeing). What I don't like is 6 spokes on 5 lugs...unbalanced. That's just me but you asked.

 

[Enrico 2000]

Thanks to everyone for the feedback. At least I know they are Stern rims, thanks to ///M3Augy. The seller has not even responded to my e-mail !
I value everyone's opinions on this board big time. I wasn't sure about these when I saw them, but was intrigued because like I said not many used aftermarket wheels for sale in my area.
However, I think I'll pass on these . Just will have to be patient and keep searching for my favourites : BBS LM :3:
Thanks again to all who chimed in, appreciate it

LM'S are worth the patience. I had six other wheels on my cars before I finally bit the bullet and just bought LM's. They are definitely worth it if it's what you really want.

 

[Jordon]

meh.... I prefer style 65s and even would stay with my winter set of style 66s over those.
