    Hello,

    Looking at some secondhand BMW 5 Series M Sport's.

    Are these M Sport alloys?

    See the attached file.

    To me, and I am not a BMW expert, these alloys look like the ones on the SE version of the 5 series or the standard 5 series.

    All the other M Sport alloys I have seen have more "spokes" in them.

    Is the "M Logo" only on one spoke on each alloy?

    +1 on the BMW style 128. I have been looking for a second hand set for decent money or replica but are hard to find. They are a decent looking alloy for bmw imo.

    So, they are a top of the range BMW alloy then?

    I thought they looked cheap compared to the multi-spoke ones I see on other M sports.

    How much would a set of 128's cost?

    Thanks for all the replies.

    they were an option for the E92 (coupe) but obviously availabe across the range too.
    theres a nice 7 series around my way with these on it and i have to say, it looks great!

    They are 19 inch I think, so doubt they would be SE rims but at the same time they would have a "M" in the style name if they were m sport. I think they are about 2k without tyres if you were to buy them brand new from a dealer.

    Edit: £1,455 without tyres

    Are these the 19" oe alloys that are prone to cracking on the inside edge of the rims?
    Read a thread on on a bmw forum about them, think it's the same wheels.

    nope, they are the 225M wheels that were an optional upgrade to the coupe range, E92 and E93.

    here are the OP's wheels on an E60 :
