They're 18x8 Elbrus I08 in Anthracite, bought them from the Tire Rack 3 years ago. Last I checked Tire Rack doesn't have them for sale anymore.

Sorry. Excited that I finally got my car; and then threw the winter wheels and tires on right away.

Got 397 take offs with Pirelli run flat Sottozeros.

ft1330 · 02-26-2015, 03:33 PM

Anyone running PA4?????

macfife · 02-27-2015, 01:02 PM

My winters, got car 1 week ago and 19s orbit grey 442s in garage ready to go on in 4 weeks time.

Do stock 17inch OEM center caps fit the X10 in 17x17.5?

I read the latest comparison and chose the Pirelli Sottozero 3 over the Dunlop 4D for best dry/wet road handling rather than the better snow performance of the Blizzak option. With RWD I know I'm not going to be balls to the wall in serious powder, I'll wait for the plows to do their work.

Here is the setup on my (dirty) black F30, haven't yet dressed the tires

I can't guarantee it but I believe they do. Mine came from the sport line 18s but I think they're the same across the wheels.

JFray23 · 10-07-2015, 02:32 PM

Do you know if your center caps are the 68mm? I also think that the caps are the same for a lot of the newer OEM wheels. I just ordered the X10's but was not really wanting the plain black center cap.

68 rings a bell. It's easy to pop them in and out, so you'll be able to find out as soon as you receive the wheels.

JFray23 · 10-07-2015, 02:35 PM

Are you still liking the wheels? How did they hold up during the winter? My car came with the base 17's so these will become my daily drivers until I upgrade to 19's next summer.

I love them. I think it's a great style, and the weight/quality for value is excellent. The black satin is a little more difficult to keep clean compared with a gloss finish, but I keep up with it enough that it's not a big deal.

My car is black like yours so you know the struggle is real. My car has dust all over it within an hour of washing so now the wheels can be just as dirty...hahaha

Yep. I'm getting into rinseless washing and I think it'll be a great thing when the weather gets frigid.

What size tires were you running for the X10's? I am just mounting them on my stock runflats 225/50/17.

That's what I went with, as recommended by tirerack.

My wife & I are very happy with the way her car turned out for the winter.

Very nice. What offsets were the rims?

ScubaSteve · 10-11-2015, 04:51 PM

Is anyone by chance running 245/45/18's on stock wheels? I can get a great deal on a set of blizzaks but I'm worried about clearance issues on my F30 xdrive. I'm lowered on HR sport springs. Any pictures and feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

hollandog · 10-22-2015, 12:44 AM

Just got these today. Will mount on the new 340i track pkge next month.

Nice....picking up my 340x in a few hours...

hmmwvj · 01-15-2018, 01:47 AM

Sorry this is a very basic question, but what is the reason(s) some wheels (Rial X10, BMW 640M etc) are almost always sold and used with winter tires?
