Genuine BMW X5 E70 5 Spoke 19"Alloys with Winter Tyres: Complete Set of 4

I have available a complete winter wheel setup for a BMW X5 E70.

The wheels are a 5 spoke design, 19” diameter. Genuine BMW items, not be confused with cheaper and inferior reproductions and clones. Fitted to the wheels are Vredestein winter tyres that have literally only covered approx 2 to 3,000 miles from new. I fitted to my X5 in early February then removed in March for the larger summer wheels to go back on.

I have now sold my X5 so these are ready to please their next owner.

As these genuine BMW wheels and factory fitted for an X5, this is a staggered setup the front tyres being 255 / 50 / 19 and the rears being a wider 285 / 45 / 19.

These tyres I felt were superb - I'd not hesitate to recommend these as great tyres with road noise, handling and overall comfort rating better than the standard summer / wheel combo I ran. As mentioned, tyres are very little used - hence tread depth for rears is between 6 & 7mm, with fronts between 7 & 8 mm.

Listed on Ebay (with pics and more details) though happy to also entertain any interest from forum members directly.

I'd be happy for the buyer to arrange a courier - I can be flexible in terms of being around to arrange pickup. Though packing or wrapping etc you'd have to consider getting carrier to provide if required.

As for asking price - not really sure, not seen any genuine setups go for less than £750 or so on Ebay, whilst nasty looking unbranded wheels seem to still also command £500+

That's vague I know, though hopeful I'll get between those two figures at least.

Thats exactly the same setup I have for my X5. At the prices you are mentioning they are a bargain, tyres alone are well over £700 new.

I agree that this is a competitive price. There's a set of similar but (cheaper) 18in wheels on the German eBay site and with only 4/5mm tread left, going for €900 ie c£725 plus courier costs.
