13×5″ FPS Wheels for BMW

13×5″ FPS (Fratelli Pedrini Sarezzo) wheel is a quintessentially “period correct” choice for the BMW 02-Series. While many enthusiasts opt for the wider $13\times5.5$ or $13\times6$ versions, the $5″$ width was a standard factory offering, particularly for the 1600-2 and early 2002 models.

Versions & Design

The “FPS” name is most commonly associated with two distinct styles in this size:

1. The 5-Spoke “Star”: The most iconic FPS design for the 2002. It features thick, blunt spokes and a slightly recessed center. In $13\times5$, these provide a very narrow, tucked-in look that works perfectly for a 100% original factory restoration.

2. The 20-Spoke “Turbine”: While more common in $5.5″$ width for the E21, FPS also produced “Alpina-style” multi-spoke wheels. If yours are the 5-spoke variety, they are likely the specific “tii-style” alloys (often called “FPS Stars”).

Market Value & Rarity

In 2026, the $13\times5$ size is actually rarer than the $5.5$ width because most owners upgraded to wider rims over the decades.

• Complete Set (4-5 wheels): Expect to pay $1,200 – $2,000 for a set in original, unrestored condition.

• Refurbished/Pristine: A professionally restored set with the correct “Wurth Silver” finish can fetch $2,500 – $4,000+ on enthusiast auction sites like Bring a Trailer.

• The “Fifth Wheel” Bonus: Since you mentioned a set of five, having the matching spare in the trunk significantly increases the value to a concours-level collector.

Tire Fitment Warning

Finding high-quality $13″$ tires is the biggest challenge for these wheels today.

• Standard Size: $165/80\text{R}13$ (Matches original diameter perfectly).

• Sportier Fitment: $185/70\text{R}13$ (Standard on 2002tii; fits the 5″ rim but is right at the limit of the width).

• Recommended Brands: Michelin (XAS) or Pirelli (Cinturato CN36) both offer “Classic” re-issues that maintain the 1970s aesthetic with modern rubber compounds.
