New 17" 5-spoke wheel set

HoyaTerp · #1 03-30-2006, 08:02 PM

I bought a set of 17" 5-spoke wheels about 18 months ago thinking I'd use them for snows. Well, that idea died in a hurry and here they sit in my garage completely unused. In fact, two of them are still wrapped in plastic. Before I go through the eBay hassle, I thought I'd offer them to the friendly folks here first. I'll entertain any reasonable offer.

Facts: 1. They are brand spanking new. 2. Don't have the center BMW knock-outs. 3. May not be genuine, though they're made in Austria and have "BMW" stamped inside (help me with this if you know something.)

PM or post with questions. Thanks!

You Don't Know If They Are Genuine? Where Did U Buy Them? Where Are You Located In The Us? Picture Of The Inside Of The Rim? Asking Price?

To my knowledge, 17" replicas of the X5 wheel have never been produced (mainly because there is no demand for them). Thus, it's highly probable that these are genuine OEM BMW rims.

Here are some pics of the inside stampings. I believe these are genuine as one of the marks looks like a BMW part number. I paid $800 for the set at a local shop that specializes in wheels. I'll entertain any reasonable offer. I'm in the Washington DC area.
