BMW style 178 wheels

RIbimmer · 12-16-2011, 01:27 PM

Here are my new winter wheels. When I searched the forums for a picture of silver BMW style 178 wheels I couldn't find any, so I'm posting this for the curious. They're going on the car next week.

Nice, should have mine (178s) next week (when they eventually arrive)

Here they are mounted on the car:

Looks great. Do you have pics of the offset look?

No, but I got the same dimensions as my stock wheels: 7x17 in front and 7x7.5 in back, so the offsets are same as well.

Looks good !

So, my alloys arrived during the week and where's the snow?

I've not unpacked them yet and so there's no pics at present, but for those that are interested I went for:

2 x BMW Alloy Wheel 17x7 ET47 #178 with CONTINENTAL Conti Winter Contact TS 830P 205/50R17 93V XL

2 x BMW Alloy Wheel 17x7.5 ET47 #178 with CONTINENTAL Conti Winter Contact TS 830P 225/45R17 94V XL

I also weighed them, 19.8kg for the 17x7 and 20.4kg for the 17x7.5.

If I may ask, what did they run you?

RIbimmer · 01-02-2012, 07:22 AM

I ordered the rims from my local dealership. Otto's BMW in West Chester, PA quoted me just over $1000 for the set. That price was so similar to the aftermarket wheels that I'd been considering that decided to stick w/ oem.

Very nice!

chrisN · 01-02-2012, 11:18 PM

hey that looks really good!

Great looking wheels. I think that around 20kg per corner is quite light for a stock wheel/tire combination.

Very nice...i doubt if they are the same but they look like my last set of wheels on my 328.
