These are the stock high performance summer wheels/tires that came on my 2007 335i. They are very nice, no road rash at all.
18-255/35 rear and 18-225/40 front with Bridgestone RE050A RFTs.
Include OEM TPMS and BMW center caps.
I swapped them out two years ago to go to 17" non-staggered and run cheaper Continental DWS for all season. They’ve been in the garage since then.
$1295 for all 4, that's $325 wheel/tire, which is very fair considering these are OEM wheels. If you check TireRack, front tires are $299 each and rear tires are $374 each.

Fronts are like brand new at about 10/32s, left rear is about 7/32s, and right rear (driving wheel) about 5/32s.
They are very good handling and quiet at speed with no balance issues. They are ready to put on the car and go! They'd be a nice step up for a non-sport package E90. Why buy some aftermarket wheel that needs spacers and could wobble for $150 when you can get the real thing.
I’d prefer a face to face meet somewhere in the PA/NJ/NY/DE area.
Thanks for looking,
Craig
