Need Help regarding changing out the OEM Tires/Wheels

ajaks · 06-08-2010, 11:15 AM

Hello all,

I bought a 2010 328i recently which came with 16" wheels. I am looking to get rid of those and replace them with 18" VMR VB3 (CSL style) wheels and possibly Hancook or Continental 225/40 tires. Question I have (probably a very noobie one so please excuse) is where do I go to get this wheels/tires installed professionally,will BMW do this for you? Does the service with BMW get affected due to this change? I am planning to re-use the TPMS from the OEM wheels.

Thank you.

Assuming that 335/328 can use the same hardware (can they?), I found some very attractive prices where I could go to a 265/30-19 and 235/35-19 setup (from memory) with rims and Ventus V12's for under $1000. No tpms though. In the above case, I'd just have them shipped and put them on myself.

19's of course are less desirable to some (like me), i.e. the low price. 18's would probably cost a lot more--I had seen rims for like $59 and $79 etc. The good thing about the package is mount/balance is incl.

One this goes in the Wheel/ Tire section, two BMW will charge you a ton of money.

I had this done yesterday switching out the sensors in my snow tires and 16's to my summer tires and 19s. Cost $100 at Discount Tire.
