here are some pics as promised.
one front wheel has a small gouge and a scratch on the spokes. does not affect the wheel's integrity. tire mounted is Bridgestone RE050A decent tread, but one or two small bubbles.

extra wheel. rough shape. would make a good spare.

turns out the rear tires are Falken 452s.

4 gone. 1 spare front wheel and the two rear tires are left. take all 3 items for $200. if you are just using this for a spare, you can probably mount one of the tires on the wheel. does anyone know if a 245 width tire will work on an 8" wide wheel?

Neither car's tires suffer from the "ballooning" you refer to, and to my eye fit the wheels fine.
So AMG and BMW would disagree with your opinion. What exactly are you basing it on?
