A fresh set of BMW alloys can change the look of a car more than almost any other upgrade. Sharper stance, better road presence, improved handling, wheels do all the heavy lifting. But for most owners, one question always comes first:
How much do BMW alloys cost in the UK?
Prices vary widely depending on size, design, condition and if you choose brand-new or used BMW alloy wheels. Below is a clear, realistic guide to 2025 pricing across the UK market, supported by industry data and current listings from specialist BMW breakers such as MT Auto Parts.
The Cost of Brand-New BMW Alloys
Buying new from BMW or authorised retailers is the premium route, and the prices reflect that. Genuine wheels are engineered to tight tolerances, but they sit at the top of the market.
Typical 2025 new OEM prices:
17–18" BMW alloys: £1,200–£1,800
M Sport 18–19" wheels: £1,800–£2,800
20–21" wheels for X models: £2,500–£4,000
M and M Performance wheels (19–21"): £3,000–£5,000+
These figures exclude tyres, which can easily add £600–£1,200 to the final bill. It’s the main reason many UK owners now choose used BMW alloys instead.
The Real-World Price of Used BMW Alloys
The used alloy market is significantly more affordable and has grown sharply in recent years. UK owners can often save up to 70% compared with dealer prices while still getting genuine BMW wheels.
Across forums, classifieds, eBay, and specialist dismantlers, typical prices for used BMW alloys for sale sit at:
17–18": £250–£450
19" M Sport: £400–£750
20–21" SUV / X models: £700–£1,400
Performance / M models: £800–£1,600
Single replacement wheels: £100–£300
Sets with good tyres naturally sit toward the higher end of each range.
What MT Auto Parts Usually Offers
MT Auto Parts specialises in genuine BMW wheels removed from late-model BMWs (F, G and U generation, 2012+). Prices reflect the condition of the wheels, tyre depth and the original spec of the vehicle they came from.
Typical examples from recent stock:
IX3 890M wheels: around £2,399 (with tyres)
X5/X6 611M or 468M sets: £900–£2,000
M5 706M wheels: around £1,800
G20/G21 791M wheels: £700–£800
X1/X2 564 Style: about £720
Popular 1/2/3/4 Series sets (various styles): £600–£850
Single OEM alloys for X3, M2, F30, F10, etc.: £200–£450
These prices sit comfortably within the wider UK used-market ranges while offering one specific advantage: guaranteed genuine BMW wheels for sale, photographed, inspected and backed by a dismantler experienced solely with BMW models.
What Determines the Price of BMW Alloys?
1. Wheel Size
Larger wheels cost more to buy new and tend to hold their value. A 22" X7 wheel, for example, will never be priced like a 17" F20 wheel.
2. Model and Rarity
Styles such as:
706M (F90 M5)
890M (iX3)
343M (F10/F13 M5 & M6)
…carry strong demand and maintain higher prices.
3. Condition and Tyre Depth
Refurbished wheels, or sets with premium-brand tyres, will cost notably more than bare rims.
4. Genuine vs Replica
Replica alloys may cost a quarter of the price but lack BMW load ratings, strength, and build quality. Most BMW owners prefer OEM wheels for safety and handling reasons.
Should You Buy Used Genuine BMW Alloys?
For most drivers, yes.
Genuine used alloys offer:
BMW-approved safety ratings
Perfect fitment
Long-term durability
Real savings vs new genuine
Strong resale appeal
And unlike replica wheels, original quality BMW alloys won’t compromise handling or comfort, something BMW owners value.
Where UK Drivers Usually Buy BMW Alloys
Specialist BMW dismantlers
The most reliable route for used BMW wheels. Stock is model-correct, fitment is accurate, and most parts are tested or inspected. MT Auto Parts sits in this category and offers 24–48h UK delivery (T&C apply) plus VIN-matching to ensure compatibility.
Online marketplaces
Potentially cheaper, but high risk. Replicas are common, damage is often undisclosed, and warranties are rare.
Independent wheel retailers
Offer refurbished OEM sets and aftermarket choices. A safe middle ground but often pricier.
BMW dealerships
The premium option. The most reliable, but also the most expensive by a large margin.
Typical Price Breakdown for 2025
1 & 2 Series: £400–£850+
3 & 4 Series: £500–£1,000+
5 Series: £700–£1,300+
X Series: £900–£1,800+
M Models: £1,000–£1,800+
Singles: £120–£350+
These ranges reflect the used market as a whole, not just MT Auto Parts.
Final Thoughts
BMW alloys hold their value because they define how the car looks, feels and behaves on the road. New original quality wheels are costly, but the used BMW wheel market offers genuine, safe and stylish options at far more accessible prices.
For drivers looking for genuine BMW alloys for sale, specialist BMW parts suppliers such as MT Auto Parts provide one of the most reliable routes — with clear photos, tested parts where required, professional storage and fast delivery for customers from the UK mainland (T&C apply).
