AW 135i - Winter Wheels - KM11

[bedouin]

Hi Guys, thought i would share some pics of the popular km11's that people have been getting for their winter setup. Here is what they look like on AW. Sorry about the night photos. I'll try to get some in the day time this weekend if people want.

Bought these from Gil @ Tirerack.com <- AWESOME

I got 17" KM11s also (Thanks, Gill!) What size tires are those? They look like Blizzak WS-60s. Did you go with the recommended 205/50-17, or did you get a different size? The fender gap looks a bit big.

I guess not everyone is as rich as you to afford a seperate winter car :iono:

I dunno maybe i'm crazy but i really enjoy winter driving. Especially when i happen to come accross a big open space with some fresh snow. On the days where it is insane i'll just leave the car at home or take the bus, i don't mind.

^ -46 like above might be pushing it, not sure how will the turbo's handle that? Is there a certain temperature your NOT suppose to be driving?

Yes i got the 17'' KM11's and 225/45R-17 Bridgestone Blizzak WS-60.
I don't mind the wheel gap in the front but the back does bother me. It just doesn't look as mean as it does with stock rims

That is awesome man, we are so lucky it hasn't snowed yet lol I can't remember the last time it was so nice in edmonton in november. I've been waking up randomly at 1am and going for a cruise

only my 2nd winter in Edmonton (originally from Toronto), and i'm also amazed at the lack of snow. in fact, i already went out and bought a monster snowblower a month ago in anticipation. i'm so bummed i'll probably not get my car till there's snow on the ground. i'd be doing those 1am cruises too bro, if only i had my car. :roundel:

How much was the package worth and how long did it take for everything to arrive? I'm in Edmonton as well and was planning on storing my 1 for the winter, but I'm not sure I can go 5 months without driving it.

In the end everything with tax, dutie etc was 1502.13 US so depending on what our dollar is worth that day you order

Placed online order on Oct 20th and it showed up on Oct 30th the day i got my car.

VERY NICE! Those are the wheels I would get for the winter, sweet, and Alpine white, I love it!
