Original 4.8is style 168 ("Le Mans") 20" wheels ,staggered setup

[CondorX5]

Original fitment to my beloved 4.8is, these wheels are for sale -  They are original BMW wheels, not copies.  Available as we are keeping the old 4.8is but in semi-retirement with much less use so cannot have a huge set of wheels just hanging about taking up loads of space - we decided the keep the smaller winter wheels on all year round.  And I need the space for a set of winter wheels for my E70

They are in overall good used condition - could be used as they are but would benefit from a refurb. Centre Caps are included, there are signs of wear /age on them.  The wheels have some scuffs and minor kerbing -bear in mind they are 11 years old now, but a great, iconic wheel style from a great X5 model. 

There are 2 tyres with lots of  life left included in the sale as freebies - the rear Vredestein  Sessantas. 
These cost around £250 apiece when I bought them and have about 6mm tread left.

Looking at £850 for the set of 4,  all offers considered.  Many on ebay for more than that but I do need them sold asap and thought I would ask on here before they eventually go on ebay.       

Am based in the Midlands, wheels preferably collected from a lock up just off the A38, very easy access from main motorways.

Lol, its ok, automatic assumption that only males drive decent cars, haha. 

And yes, there are 20" winters - not cheap, but they are out there.

Holly crumbs! £226 a tyre! Might have to rethink that idea....
Thanks for the info though.

Not sure how good these are but I found them while browsing the net.
They seem to get a not bad review and are advertised as all weather tyres.
£280 a set.

I know it sounds a lot to swallow, but this will now be my 3rd winter on them, with loads of tread left. If you are going to spend money on your car, spend it where it sticks you to the road. Winter Tyres perform astonishingly better than Summer or All-Season.

While you are running your winters, your summers are sat in the garage... you effectively double the life of those.

Ironically, I've got these on my rears right now and they seem to be wearing well and handling seems fine.
Considering getting a pair for the front to match, they are very cheap.
