Style 142 for snow tires

Can we order the 17" style 142 wheels with no tires and how much are they? I need a set for snow tires...

Seems to me there would be a MUCH cheaper alternative 17" wheels than buying a set of 142's from BMW. :iono:

You might want to think about people selling off their stock wheels in a few months, to go aftermarket...

Yeah, but I don't want ugly wheels on my nice new car for 1/2 of the year.

To clarify, I was just saying that people will be selling their OEM wheels to partially fund their aftermarket purchases. Alternately, find some nice aftermarket wheels (that WILL be cheaper than buying from BMW). Buy the ones you like. Nobody mentioned buying ugly wheels...

I must have been in a bad mood when I wrote that...

I plan to look for someone who is getting rid of a set of 17x7" style 142's. I think my dealer pays $350 a corner for them, a little steep.
