at the moment i have 20'' type 227 wheels on my msport but would like to change to 19'' type 223 msport wheels with 255/50/19 on the front and 285/45/19 on the rear...
now these wheels dont come up to often on ebay but a five spoke type with the same size 19'' tyres do , so i was wondering if anyone knows if these alternative wheels will fit the msport..i havent got the wheel number or the offsets..

I see those ones come up quite often on eBay.  2 Sets listed right now.

thanks ashley,
the first link ones are in preston which is to far for me and seem to be a relist for some reason,
as for the second link they are out of my funding range unfortunately.. 

If it helps, have a look at Alloywheels direct as they carry the OEM offerings so you can see what options are available that you can then go looking for.....

thanks richard, i've googled since my last post and i've found a reference guide which shows the offsets etc and it seems there are just the 2 wheel types that fit the e70 msport, 19'' 223 and 20'' 227.....
i'll have to wait until some 19'' come up on ebay/gumtree at a reasonable price... 

I wouldn't worry about getting the wheels you want couriered.  I bought my winters from German ebay which were then couriered over, and arrived safe and sound unharmed, and 'postage' was very reasonable.  These wheels are very sturdy so more likely to damage something else than get damanged - provided the outer sides are protected obviously ...

The wheels are pretty common given owners wanting to move to 20s for the aesthetics ...

thanks for that Jim, i'm sure something will come up...

Another set starting at £500:

i bought a set of these from ebay in the summer £220 and then fitted wintrac extremes sourced from CAMSKILL I guess buying out of season was reflected in the prices

cant get the link to work Ashway..

Fixed it for you.

will these fit the msport then?  ive looked at wheel specs and these seem to be a different offset.

Thanks PVR,

yes they fit the Msport, they do look a little lost in the arches especially with the Msport arch extensions but they do fit if they are E70 spec.

i checked on the alloy wheels direct site before purchase

thanks for the info Ashway
