For Sale:
Dinan Fikse FM/5 17 X 8.5/9.5 3pc Forged Wheels
My 1988 M5 has had 8.5" Dinan wheels on it since 1992. The wheels were made by Fikse. I've always loved them. They are very light (about 20 lbs) and really handsome.
About 5 or 6 years ago I had an opportunity to buy another set from a guy who was selling the original wheels off his Dinan 850 twin screw. I didn't think they'd fit my e28 but with the rarity of these wheels and the fact that I do drive my M5 pretty hard, I figured it could not hurt to have some spare centers and inner hoops. (The 850 wheels are the exact same centers and inner hoops. The outer hoops are 1" wider than the e28 wheels.)
The wide wheels sat on my shelf for a number of years until one day I had the idea to try to fit them on my M5. Well lo and behold, they fit, and looked pretty damn nice in the staggered format. I have been driving like that for a few years.

I don't drive my M5 enough anymore to warrant keeping two sets of wheels around, so I am offering the 2nd set of staggered wheels up for sale. Of the 8 wheels, you will get the pick of the litter. They are 9.5 out of 10 condition.
I don't know if these will fit your car. That will be up to you to figure out. They are very big wheels, but they do fit inside my e28 wheel wells with 255/40 Continental SuperContacts with light rubbing on full lock. I'm running BBS 15mm spacers in front and the car is lowered on Dinan springs.
You are welcomed to inspect the wheels prior to purchase. You are also welcomed to bring your car by my house and we can mount the wheels on your car to check the fitment.
If you are looking for a set of fast and light wheels that will really turn heads anywhere you go, this is the set.
Asking $2800 OBO without tires, plus shipping (or pickup in San Jose CA).
