Set of 4 newly refinished chrome, GENUINE 18" staggered AC Schnitzer Type III light alloy wheels for BMW E39 (BMW 5 series 1995-2003) and E38 (BMW 7 Series 1995-2001) and possibly E31 (BMW 8 series 1989-1999, but please double-check).
Schnitzer Part #s: Front: 36 11 39 400; Rear: 36 11 39 410
Rim Size: Front: 8.5x18 ET15; Rear: 9.5x18 ET21.5
Offset: Front 15; Rear 21.5; these fit my E39 perfectly, without any rubbing on the wheel wells.
Tires Make: Michelin Pilot Sport - Ultra High Performance
Tire Size: Front: 235/40ZR18; Rears: 265/35/ZR18
I paid $7,500+ for the wheels, $1,000+ for the tires, sales tax, and another $1,275 to strip and refinish the chrome (the wheels were just professionally refinished by Wheel Medic, Inc. in Columbus, Ohio - I just got them back and they've never been mounted since the refinish - see pix of the chrome in the bolt holes).
These are not new. If you want new, go pay Schnitzer $7,500 plus tax...
Personally I'd rate the wheels a 9.5 on a 10 scale, except then someone might come back and say "hey, I found this tiny imperfection somewhere", so I'll say THEY'RE NEWLY REFINISHED AND AT LEAST a 9 out of 10 (any reasonable person would say they look new).
The exposed front chrome face of the wheels is as nearly perfect as you can get with professional refinishing.
The inside/undersides of the wheels are rechromed and look great (see pix), but there are some inevitable imperfections beneath the chrome on the inside/underside of wheels from before the refinishing are visible if you look really closely (you wouldn't see these when the wheels are mounted on your car).
The pictured E39 BMW M5 is NOT included - mine is sold. That's why you're saving $5,000 on these tires & wheels.
Check your own fitment; know your own car. These fit my 2001 E39 wonderfully.
Included:
- 4 genuine AC Schnitzer Type III light alloy wheels, newly refinished in chrome (see pix; they're gorgeous!).
- 4 Michelin Pilot Sports tires. Directional. Z rated. Fronts are 235/40ZR18, rears are 265/35/ZR18 with pretty good tread remaining on all (see pix). These are some of the best high performance tires in the business.
- 4 aluminum AC Schnitzer wheel center caps, with some surface scratches (see pix; the scratches aren't very visible when the wheels are on your car - people will be looking at the chrome, not the center caps).
- 4 hub-centric ring adapters for E39 (see pix).
These are the pictures of exactly what you'll get; Nothing more. Nothing less.
Fed Ex Ground shipping is $229 in the continental U.S.A. only. It WILL cost me more than this. These must be boxed separately, and they're big heavy boxes. I paid Uline $100 for the double-walled boxes alone.
Local pickup is OK if you're near Columbus, Ohio.
I've been on eBay since May 2000 (13 years), and have 1,200+ 100% positive feedback. Bid with confidence...

Bentley SUV (Falcon) to be built in Slovakia?
Wed, 20 Mar 2013Bentley says it has 2000 pre-orders for the Bentley Falcon SUV and that it is possible the Bentley won’t be built in Crewe but in Bratislava. January’s news was that the Bentley SUV was close to being signed-off for production (we’ve heard that once or twice) and in February we learnt that Bentley have gone back to the drawing board to produce a new design under the watchful eye of Luc Donckerwolke, Bentley’s Chief Designer, which we expect to be a more dynamic one with cues from the Continental, rather than a square truck with Mulsanne headlights. So now it’s time for the March instalment of ‘Bentley SUV News‘, and we have Bentley boss Wolfgang Schreiber telling us that Bentley already has 2,000 pre-orders for their SUV (we’re guessing ‘expressions of interest’ may be closer to the truth) before the new design is shown, and before Bentley has decided whether they want to pitch their SUV just above the new Range Rover at around £150k, or do what Bentley dealers want which is a Bentley SUV costing north of £200k.
Bombardier YouCity design competition launched
Thu, 15 Mar 2012Bombardier is sponsoring the YouCity Innovation Competition, seeking design concepts for 'the future of urban mobility'. The online competition, open to design students and professionals, focuses on the evolution of mobility in fast-growing urban areas. With more than two thirds of the world's population expected to live in cities by 2050, the issue of transportation is one that the organizers feel needs to be addressed sooner rather than later. Bombardier has selected three cities that represent the different markets for urban mobility around the world: London, UK (mature market), Belo Horizonte, Brazil (BRIC market) and Vientiane, Laos (emerging market).
