show off your winter wheels
Im still deciding what wheel and tire combo to get for winter so I'm hoping there are some others out there who have already made the decision. Please show your wheels and provide your tire specs.

Just placed my order on TireRack.
18x8 Enkei Tuning Raijin Black Painted 225/45R18 Michelin Pilot Alpin PA3 The Michelin's had better scores than the Blizzaks for dry driving conditions while still performing very well in light and deep snow. Here in Denver, it often snows hard, but by the time you're heading home from work, the roads are clear and dry. With TPMS sensors and valve stems, it came to around $2,000. Now does anyone have a good recommendation for BMW Center Caps that will fit these wheels? ![]() ![]()

So you were able to order the BMW center cap with the wheel from TireRack? Man, now I really hope I can find one that fits the Enkei wheels. I hear ya too on the black. I just figured it would be nice to change the whole look of the car for 5 months out of the year by doing something so simple. ANd I do like the look of the Black wheel on the EBII. Black wheels on a black body are a bit too much for me though.

I went with the 18's. I'm not going to drive in heavy snow, and I did not want that small of a wheel/profile.

Se my last post on the TPM. As for the caps, when selecting the wheels, the Optional Hardware tab shows the replacement caps for the wheels, and for the Elbrus, the BMW caps were an option.. for $15 ea.

I got our Rial Salerno set precisely because they can accept BMW caps. Being that Rial is an OEM supplier to BMW, you know the wheels are well made too.

Do the OEM caps also fit the Elbrus I08's? That's what I just got, I didn't bother ordering the caps if the OEM ones fit.
Wish I would've got them yesterday, about 1" of slush on the ground here. Surprisingly in Eco Pro even with the 19's and the Goodyear F1's the car wasn't as scary as I expected.

Rick is there a way you can post larger pics of your setup? I am thinking of going the same route. Did you go with the 210 or 240 Sottozeros? RFT? thx
