E39 M5 Rear Wheel Required.

[humpbackmaniac]

I know I know, rare as rocking horse poo etc....

But I need one rear wheel must be all standard etc can anyone help?

Called some idiots from Wicked Rims or something and the spotty oik said that he couldnt refurb my rear as the paint was coming off and it needs acid dipping so he would have to take the car and do all four wheels. And just like that said he would bring it back in four days, while holding his hand out as if to receive the keys.
The chance of me letting the prepubescent chap in to my car let alone drive it out of sight is less than zero. So upshot is I need a wheel and would rather buy one and sell my old one.

Can anyone help?

What is the cost of buying one off of one of the parts specialists who do wheels etc?

There's a chap selling new M5 alloys on ebay for £550 and £590 respectively.

I potentially need a new front after a pothole incident has left it slightly buckled.

Lepsons has said that they can straighten it and refurb all 4, but I'm not sure.

I saw that, but £590 for one wheel "smarts" a bit!

Try these guys, http://www.wheelgenie.co.uk/ they just did my M5 wheels and did a great job (including acid dip and etching) £265 for all 4 plus vat, I think the finish is great...
You could probably take 1 good and 1 bad and they will match the finish.
