New Winter Setup

PTinVT · 12-20-2010, 04:45 PM

I already had the Dunlop Winter Sport 3Ds on the stock 185s (17"), but I never cared for that wheel. $840 gets a set of 17" Rial Como from Tire Rack including TPMS and shipping, Merry Xmas to me.

Props to Tire Rack, ordered online and they were in my driveway the next morning!. At one point, they showed out of stock (less than 4 available), I called and they said it could be as late as March before they could get more, I checked back a couple days later and they were suddenly available again, so I jumped on them. [Now showing as "SOLD OUT FOR SEASON" - hope I don't need to replace one]

Stock center caps do not fit and TR does not have BMW caps that fit, so if anyone knows where I might look, I'd appreciate that. Rial center holes are a tad smaller. (And if anyone is interested in a set of 185s, please PM me

)

These are 17x7.5 vs. 17x8 stock (and ET35 = pretty much the same as stock ET34) so the tire is a few MM further in than stock, but I'm not a worried about a mad flush look... esp for 17s and no drop.
