Anyone Have M5 Wheels? - BMW Forum

abemcclellan · 03-29-2005, 03:16 PM

i'm about to order some M5 rims from wheel exchange and i was just going to ask you guys if anyone of you has ordered from them before or has any pics with their M5 wheels on their bimmer? i'm prolly going to go with 17's just because i don't want to sacrifice my ride comfort. -Thanks

Might want to give The Wheel Exchange a call before ordering. I think the 5 Series have different offsets than the 3 series. May not work.

have seen a couple E36's around here with them... not sure if they are OEM or Replica..... I think somebody on the forums has em too..

abemcclellan · 03-29-2005, 05:45 PM

well the ones on wheelexchange are replicas and are 120mm x5 and i think are made to fit the 3 series,and they have like 35mm or 40mm offset. i kinda forgot, i need to make sure. they'll work. but i was just wondering if some of the guys have them on their bimmer in here with any pics. and to see if wheelexchange is a good company to go through. oh yeah and i wanted to see what the opinions are replicas for the people that have them on their bimmers.

I was looking at some replicas on wheelexchange and bought a different set of replicas on aaarims.com. The ones i liked on wheelexchange were a 5 series wheel. Which ones are you looking at?

those look real sweet. I was looking at some 5 series wheels that were M wheels but not those. Here are the one I was looking at.

Sorry no pics on a 3 series, but i think they look sweet.

abemcclellan · 03-30-2005, 12:29 PM

well i was looking at the ones that they claim will fit e36 or e46. hey JShearer did you go ahead and buy the Z8 wheels instead?

jrhaile · 03-30-2005, 03:03 PM

yummy.. m5 wheels on e36 :P I like a lot

I was going to order these ones before I bought my CSLs: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...ssPageName=WDVW

I got my GFs rims from this guy. Great service. Slow shipping as it came ground, but took about a week so not bad.

Yep, look at the sig although it is not a great pic. I still really like those other wheels that i posted ^^^. I think they would look great but last minute i got these becuase i haven't seen these on a car before(wanted something original, but now it looks as though there may be a couple of people here that are going to put them on, oh well what can you do).

abemcclellan · 03-30-2005, 11:19 PM

yeah. hey Jrhaile, how much did your CSL's cost you? i love those rims too! i'm thinking they might be a little too much than i want to spend right now.

jrhaile · 03-30-2005, 11:28 PM

840 shipped

abemcclellan · 03-31-2005, 12:19 AM
