show off your winter wheels

motorwerkeman · 12-10-2016, 04:04 PM

Installed my winter setup today.

The OEM P7 Cinturato all-season still had about 60% tread so put those on for now, I have MPSS on the stock 397's.

BBS SR019 Himalaya Grey
18" x 8" +32 ET
Pirelli P7 All-Season 225/45/18

New to New England: when do I need tire chain in the snow? Do I need it?
Thanks!

Just put them on in the morning and snowed in the afternoon.

BBS SR 18" with Blizzak WS80.

18" is the minimum required for the M brakes(blue one)
Also, bmw bolt patern is 5x120, not 5x114.3

Hi All,

I'm a total newbie here - [edit] - as such I posted my question in not the best spot. Nothing to see here...thanks.

I like the extra fresh air. Doesn't help much while tooling around a parking lot, I just forgot about it when we pulled in there and started to have fun.

Red_Baron · 12-14-2016, 08:47 PM

The season's 2nd winter storm arrived today. Going was very slow with lots of disabled vehicles that couldn't move. The last uphill section had more than 10 vehicles stranded on the side. I made it though without drama. The chains did not leave the trunk because they were not needed. I feel good about the snow wheel/tire investment now.

Stock 18" Sportline wheels with Cooper Winterforce tires. Gets the job done.

NUFC3 · 12-16-2016, 11:18 AM

Here is my winter set up for my 2016 340i M-Sport with Track Handing Package . I'm super happy with the look of the wheels (18") from Tire Rack. Went with Continental tires and so far so good. No snow in Pennsylvania yet, but I'm ready.

Slickz · 12-16-2016, 06:59 PM

Had to get a quick pic today with the snow shoes. I know its shit so I'll have to get some more later! On another note, these Michelin XIce tires are simply ASTOUNDING. I have never had a car that truly required snow tires before and the feeling is so wonderful and confident. Couldn't be happier and I went back out to drive for another hour tonight. Thanks to Musashi for helping me with the info on these beautiful wheels!

cncmastr · 12-17-2016, 01:48 PM

Here are some quick installed pics. I'll snap some from outside the garage and further back. I love how they look, can't wait to use them.

Maccan · 12-19-2016, 04:37 AM

Here is my 320d -14 M-Sport.

ATS Racelight 8,5"x18" Et38 whit Nokian Hakkapelittan 8, 225-45/18".

Had some slush over the weekend and Blizzak is working as expected.

18" OEM Orbit Grey 398s with 225/45/18 Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3s. Car is lowered on KW Street Comfort coilovers with 10mm/15mm BMS spacers (f/r). Loving this winter setup so far.

tsbrown · 01-03-2017, 06:50 PM

18" Rial X10's with Pirelli Sottozero 3 on my Tanzanite Blue Individual 340i.

Took delivery on Dec. 12th and these went on that night due to snow and freezing temps in the forecast. Really like these so far even though no snow yet, but they do look nearly OEM.
