I have a 335i xDrive Sportline order coming soon but I currently have an extra set of Sportline wheels and tires--long story....
So my issue is i will have the 2 identical sets of the 397s. I'm trying to sell 1 set to get rid of them but on second thought would it be a good idea to just hold onto the set in case I need to replace the wheels/or wheel on the 335? This will likely avoid me having to purchase the BMW wheel/tire insurance for the new car when I take delivery. Im in Chicago so the likelihood of a tire issue may arise during the winter months. What would you guys do? Keep or sell the set?? Any opinions would be very helpful. |

given your location...I'd put on some winter tires. And then add the removed tires to the other pair when worn.

Bridgeston LM60s or WS70's, MUCH cheaper - could cost you $700 for the set. I'd throw on some WS70's, take off the all seasons to use when the mounted ones wear out...

i agree with keeping for winter as one option, but you could also consider selling 3 of the wheels and keeping one as a back-up. you could probably make more selling the 3 wheels individually than as a whole set so you may end up with the back up wheel for little cost.
i also think the longer you hold on to the wheels the less they will be worth (i.e, the more 3 series that are sold, the more the style 397 wheels be available for sell on the market) just my .02 |
