Are those 17's or 18's?

bimmer · 11-04-2006, 06:12 PM

I will be going with those M5 rims as my winter setup. I would like to know if those on the picture above are 17's or 18's? They look 17's to me.
Can anyone photoshop those on Sparkling Graphite - Thanks

looks like 18's...maybe even 19's

Yup, same here, those look like 18's...maybe even 19's

The M5 Rims that the company may be selling you as a winter set up, might just be the old M5 Wheels.

Look at this link

Just a precaution, make sure you get a picture and exact dimensions.

katsbimmer · 11-04-2006, 07:29 PM

there 18's......18x8 fronts...18x9 rears with no drop stock non-zsp

Vinobien · 11-04-2006, 07:41 PM

get 19's

bimmer · 11-04-2006, 08:16 PM

My only option for winter are M5 rims 17 inches 224/45/17. I can get them for good price. I wonder how 17 M5's will look on my 330 SG sport. I hope they won't look too small. I can't go 18 incher. I will leave 18's for the summer.

I will be using Dunlop M3 wintersport tyres.

they are 17's

BTW, replica rims are without the BMW center caps. Where can I get them for good price?

THANKS

Heres my winter set up...
17inch M5 replicas on SG

DILLIGAF, could you post some more clear pix of your setup. How do you like the new look vs 18's, 162? Do they look small or are they ok? (I mean 17") I have a hard time judge from the picture.
Also were they shipped with BMW center caps or you had to get them elswere? I far as I know replicas don't come this center cap.

THX

DILLIGAF · 11-06-2006, 06:34 PM

The replicas came with the center caps. I got the wheels and tires from Burlington Tire Sales in Oakville back in February. I still prefer the 162s for my summer set up. The replicas do look smaller than the 162s since they are only 17inch but I think its more practical for a winter set up IMO.

Here is a pic taken on a different day. Hope it helps

DILLIGAF, big thanks. I like them. The car looks like a baby m5

. I went to Burlington Tires and they quote me for those rims and Blizzacks or Pirellis $2260 +taxes. Too much in my books. I went to Tire Depot and got the same rims M5's replicas with Dunlop M3 Wintersports for 1700+taxes. This is a lot better. I am putting them on this friday.
Funny, we have the same car, colour, tint, options and now winter rims. How cool is that:rocks:

THX for help

GregL · 11-07-2006, 12:08 AM

What's the offset of those 17" M5 reps?

HeadlessChicken · 11-07-2006, 09:12 AM

Does anyone have a recommendation on where to get those exact rims in the US?

You're welcome. Someone on this forum pointed me to Burlington Tire sales for those wheels. My whole set up with the tires was between $1600 to $1800 out the door. But I think my tires were less expensive that what you got. But I used 'em last winter and they did a great job. Just dont forget to get a can of that fix a flat stuff since you don't have a spare in the trunk.

Sorry I'm not sure.

bimmer · 11-20-2006, 08:40 PM

DILLIGAF, sorry to bother you again. I am putting my winter set tomorrow. However, I have one more question. Did you use original bolts form 162 wheel's setup or you got additional bolts, or perhaps you using some kind of cover caps on original botls? Judging form the pictures I think you purchase extra set of bolts for your winter setup. However, it's hard to see. Please let me know, if yes, where did you get extra set of bolts or cover cups?

Thanks
