MV1 wheels and winter tyres for sale - NOW SOLD

Whilst I go figure out how to add photos, I'll start the thread going without them.

I bought these wheels refurbished about 3 or 4 years ago, and ran them variously with summer or winter tyres over the years on my 3.0si sport e86 coupe. There will be various photos of my car with these (and others!) fitted from meets throughout the last few years.

They are currently fitted with Avon Ice Touring ST tyres - which have seen use in a couple of winters and definitely add grip when it gets slippy (I have subsequently always bought winter tyres for our various cars).

The wheels are from an e46 3 series originally - chosen because they exactly match the standard Z4 e86 staggered sizes and offsets. (I guess the suspension has similar origins) I think they look great on the Z4 because they have an element of 3D look to the spokes rather than the flat faced MV2.

The wheels are OEM BMW M SPORT GENUINE MV1 STAGGERED 2 wheels - 8.5Jx18, 2 wheels - 8Jx18.

The tyres 225/40 R18 all round, as that was the general consensus on the forum at the time as they have a narrower footprint, and the M+S tyre sizes listed in the owners manual. Tread is 5mm on two (Guess these were the fronts) and 6-7mm on two (the fronts presumably).

They still look great, but there is an inch or so of mild grazing on one that a tyre fitter caused, and I've just noticed some kerb rash on another (see photos now supplied), and two or three nicks in the lacquer and paint where a guess stones have hit them over the years.

No real idea about price, so thinking £350, but if that's not reasonable then let me know as I'd like to move them on to a forum member rather than putting them on the bay.

Location for collection Leeds - although I do have an estate car so can drop them locally.

More photos here - send me a PM if you're interested. Feel free to post on this thread too if you think I'm wrong on the price, as the forum's been good to me over the years, and don't want to take advantage.

And one with them fitted (with summer tyres!) at the Silverstone Classic parade.

Offers around the £350 Tony & i don't think you are fleecing anyone
The wheels themselves should sell around £150/£200 & suspect the tyres not far off .
Maybe add pics of the actual tread ?
 
Do we know if these would fit my wife's 420 diesel msport? If so I'm very invested and will be travelling to Manchester later this week

I've no idea when it comes to wheels and rim sizes!
 
No idea if they fit a 420d sorry.

I know they don't fit the previous generation e9x nor first Gen 1 series as a mate at work checked for his own cars.

E90's & E60s not going to work without spacers but they would definitely fit first gen 1 series to perfection , exactly the same offsets :wink:
 
Spacers front and rear? Supplier? Approx cost? I'll look on eBay.

Thanks as always

Spotted them, thanks for the confirmation. Adds £70 to the price though.

Pics of the tread would be good, need to do a little thinking

Think it was a bolt size issue rather than offset - do they have different size bolts on the old 130i maybe?
 
Looks like £350 was a good price to generate interest - have now had two offers by PM.

SK93 in pole position, Luke lined up if he drops out. Bluespit I wonder if these would be right for a 420 anyway.

CONSIDER THESE SOLD UNLESS IMPOST AGAIN. CHEERS ALL.
 
Morning. Looking like I'm out as 420 had tpms and these may well throw up warning lights!

Cheers and good luck with the sale
