EVO: 25 years of the BMW M5
#21
I have looked everywhere! Most are refinished, which never looks right or goes to "silver"... So frustrating driving around with a big black spot on my wheel!

The M wheel is very hard to be properly repaired, the ones I got required double stack wheeel weight along practically a quarter of the circumference.
I ended up buying a new one from Tischer, my family's lives are worth more than 400 bucks.

Sorry if you took offense.
What I am trying to say is that you are gambling with these wheels from the forums.
The M5 wheel is very difficult to repair right, and if the refinish was decent, the seller could honestly thought that he got an original wheel.
I think we can all agree that a wheel that needs a double stack of wheel weight the length of a 1/4 of the wheel circumference is probably not the safest thing to put on your car.

I drove an E60 M5 for 4 years, and I still miss it.
That said (and yes, call me a heretic), I wished it had AWD. Around Austin, it just spun its wheels in 1st and 2nd. If it could just put the power down, it would have been mental. As it was, it was one of those cars that didn't really come alive until 80mph. A 3rd gear blast to pass cars at highway speed was just amazing fun. The look on other drivers' faces...

I'm going on a mountain drive with my buddy this weekend. He refinished his 18" E39 M5 wheels in a beautiful semi gloss gunmetal color. I'll post tons of pics next weekend. It looks stunning with carbon black.
