Just got my winter wheels and tires put on.

18 x 8.5 ET35 Riva MX7 replicas with 225/45/18 Pirelli Winter Sottozero 240 Serie II RFT's.

So far so good. The tire is a bit narrow for an 8.5" wheel but it's okay.

The IS wheels were always my favorite one from BMW.

I always wait until we get 2 inches before swapping wheels. I hold out because I HATE my stock wheels...

New Winter Wheels for my 435i

Thanks everybody for the information I have gained here as a new member. I picked up my 435i with Xdrive and the M I and II Performance Packages last spring and I love the car but was dissatisfied with the lack of choice on wheels. I am not really a fan of gun-metal grey. So this fall i decided to add a little sparkle to the car and selected a set of 19" Advanti FS Fastoso for my winter wheels combined with Pirelli Sottozerro run flats. My thoughts are that if liked them, these new wheels would become my summer wheels when I swap everything around next spring. I love them so decision made.

Keeping the wheels glowing

Guys, thanks for the feedback. I am a bit anal with my wheels and hand wash them every week 12 months of the year, rain or shine (or snow).. This way, the brake dust just washes off and even though I have large hands, I can still get between the spokes with my mitt.

Finally got the 435i Xdrive M-Sport and got the winters on it.

Went with a satin finish black F10 replica (OEM Concepts RW-343) in 18" with square setup 225-45-18 Michelin Xi3.

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

I also installed 15mm spacers on the rear too.

Just put on my winter shoes! Switched out the 18" staggered M Sports with downsized 17" wheels with Michelin X-ice tires.

These tires are so much better than my blizzak WS70s were on cold and dry roads. No floaty feeling with these tires and happy I went with 17s for winter and pothole season.

I almost went with BMW OEM wheels (396 7 spoke), but really didn't think they'd look that good.

TireRack says these Rial R10's will go right on; no spacers or anything, so I went with them. Similar style as I had for E93, but went with black this time (against wife's opinion ). Spokes are narrower, too

Pirelli Sottozero runflat tires, 225/45/R18 95V all around



they're waiting for the wheels (due in this week) and the new TPMS that reads the actual pressure; due in in a couple of weeks; hopefully they'll get them.
with the early arrival of winter weather, looks like I'll be driving son's Rogue. Glad it has remote start as it's kept outside.

gonna put on its winter tires/wheels, too; they're on the OEM wheels.



old winter wheels

I like the black wheels with the black car. I'm glad I went with black, including for the brake dust w/ the M Sport Brakes. My car is pretty black, too.

btw, what % tint is that Joey?

also, nice Firebird poster from the 70's

I like the Rial X10's, too!

I really like these X10s, though I'm looking at 17s for my black F30. I wonder if it will look terrible.

I like the silver painted as well, and was thinking of (reversibly) painting them black to try out the dark look.
