Winter wheels - steels

LuisBoston · 11-30-2018, 08:16 AM

I'm looking for the most cost effective winter solution.

Are steelies a thing with m-sport brakes?

What do folks think about re-mounting and balancing every season? Costco charges just $40 each season, so I could keep the factory wheels and pay just $240 + tires for the term of the lease.

This is a lease, so I don't want to spend more than necessary.

Thanks!

You need 18s with those brakes I think unless the 330i is different than 335/340

I would just buy some cheap wheels on tire rack steel wheels on a bmw is pretty bad imo

BMW OEM 400M wheel as a choice for winter driving offers almost everything: 18" diameter, will clear M Sport brakes, no warranty questions from hyper attentive dealers, OEM visual appearance, and a liquid market. There many of these wheels for sale on Bimmerpost.
