Tire Rack

Why isn't Tire Rack active in this forum like they are in the 1 forum? I think they are missing a big opportunity since lots of people are asking fit questions.

I spoke w Tire Rack today then called BBS. Robert Wey at BBS put the Tire Rack rep to shame. Granted he has fewer wheels to deal with but still. Answered my questions in simple, easy to understand language. Talked about crowding fender and being an inch closer than stock rather than trying to impress me by discussing offsets and confusing me with wheel math. Had a very similar experience when calling Enkei.

Long story short, order from Tire Rack (I will for winter) but don't be afraid to go straight to the manufacturer. In my experience at least they're much more knowledgable and helpful.

Did the BBS rep say when the online wheel finder for the 235 will be up?
The M235 isn't listed on the BBS web site

I didn't ask. I saw something on Tire Rack then called to ask about a specific wheel. I didn't get into their other wheels since I'm looking for a winter set and they don't have tons of options at a low cost / disposable price point.

May I ask what combination you went for? I am also looking for one, though my vehicle is still in production...

17" SR with Blizzaks. Was also looking at 18" Enkei Tuning Raijin. Any Enkei Tuning rim will accept a BMW center cap, FYI.

I think it's very wheel specific. Was assured by both TR and BBS that these specific wheels will work. I asked both of them multiple times because I honestly didn't believe them.

This is the 18" on the Euro m135 but it will at least give you an idea of the look.

My thoughts exactly. Looking for best quality I can get, 17" if possible, under $250 each.

If anyone is into Enkei there's a set of 4 on close out on TR for $99 each. Enkei is discontinuing the rim, I didn't buy them because I'd be concerned that were I to bend one I couldn't replace it.

Dan

TireRack paid to have full run of site advertising on 1 Addicts. It's why their banner is the only one you see over there. Plus there are a lot more E82/E88 drivers than there are F22 drivers at the moment.

Once more 2 series come out, they'll make their way over here but if you have questions, shoot me a PM and I'll do my best to answer them for you.

If a vendor here can make us (m235i) a winter package (mounted /balanced/shipped)...win win for both
