What is the standard ET on your E39? And what is the hub diameter?

Thanks, but i have since checked the wheels and found 1 of them is slightly squared and buckled. I'll keep looking.

They wouldn't fit anyway 523ss as the offset is way wrong (the offset was for 3 series). You need to look for wheels with offset aound ET13-20 for the 5 series and will fit 6,7 and 8 series. You will need to check that they have the larger (74.1mm) centre bore hole or they wont fit (the other size being 72.6mm). HTH

Thanks for the info Paul. I actually fancy a set of style 32's if you know of anyone trying to offload some.

Look through ebay, normally some on there, I was after a set before I got the M-Parallels (style 37), couldn't find any, then some came up just after buying them. If you do get some that were fitted to an e38 7 series then you would need to change tyres as they use a larger tyre for bigger rolling radius
