    18" Refinished Staggered Style 5's

    These wheels were completely disassembled for refinishing. The lips were stripped, sanded, and polished to a nice luster. Centers were cleaned, sanded, and repainted with the caps. All original hardware was in excellent condition so it was sent out for a fresh plating of OE silver zinc. Wheels reassembled with blue loctite and torqued to BBS specs.

    Never mounted on a vehicle since completion.

    These are not 17" E39 style 5's. They were removed from a E38 750iL and as such have the normal center bore of 72.56mm. Will fit pretty much any 5lug BMW except E39.

    Would fit straight and look sick on a E30 M3, E31, E32, E34, E38, E46 M3, and others. Can fit 5lug'd non-M e30's depeneding on your setup, and will fit E36/E46 with stretched rubber if that's your thing.

    Fronts are 18x8 ET20
    Rears are 18x9 ET22

    Also... a somewhat unique addition.. how about a 720P HD video of the wheels?
    Set of staggered 18" OE BMW Style 5's I refinished.


    These wheels are nothing short of beautiful, and a good deal of money was spent on refinishing them to their current condition. Despite the refinishing work please note that these are 15 year old wheels. They are not without small imperfections. None of which shows up in photos. None of which anyone is going to notice on your car. Nothing significant what so ever, but in the interest of being realistic I want to make that clear.

    Asking price is $2100 shipped to the continental US, and I am open to offers within reason.

    Nice looking set of wheels!! Were these professionally done? Are the barrels cleared or raw? Location?

      I did the bulk of the refinish work myself. I had a friend who is a painter shoot the centers after hours, and a local plating company acid strip and re plate the hardware. Everything else is my work.

      The barrels are raw.

        Thanks for the quick reply - I just realized I am following these wheels on another board.

                    My 18" staggered 5's were machined out too, bought them from an E39 owner. I'm actually using metal rings to mount them on my cars.
