Last Call for OEM 17" Wheels&SnowTires...

I still have a set of BMW OEM 17" style 57 wheels with Michelin Alpin Snow Tires mounted, For Sale.

Stats:
Michelin Alpin Dedicated Snow Tires, size 235/65-R17. They have the snowflake symbol on sidewall.
I bought the wheels "bare" and had the new Alpins mounted.
-Tire/Wheel combo have been used by me, for 3 winter seasons, then I switched back to my stock
Sport 18" style 69s for summer.
-Tire/Wheel combo have had 13,435 miles put on, by me, in those 3 seasons.
-Tires have 8/32 nds tread on rears and 8/32nds plus, on front treads.
-Tires are good for at least One More Season.
-Wheels are in good to very good condition; the usual speckles of crud on inner wheel, in spots, and a
couple of road stone nicks in face of outer wheels, but zero curb rash.

Pics below...

They are here at my Mtn house in far western NC. Shipping is a problem, not cheap as I have no access
to a commercial UPS pickup, but doable.

Make a reasonable offer.

I am also motoring north to NJ this Thursday, Oct. 19th, and could possibly meet an interested party
somewhere between western VA and south Jersey. But, I am not dragging them to you, for a tire kicking viewing,

.

If they don't sell in the next 3 weeks, they sit for another season or,
I toss them down the fookin mtn.

Let me know...
Thanks, Ol'UncleMotor

Here's a screen shot of a wheel/tire sizing compartor I use:

Style 112 wheel & tire vs Style 57 wheel & tire combo I'm
trying to move.

Sorry, the screen shot didn't come out clearly, nor the info below, in the right format:
I've tried every trick I know to properly copy the work page from the site; no luck...note
the info buried below that suggests there should not be any fit or usage situ.
Thanks.
