Thanx
They were used wheels. Paid $400 for  4. The rubber is Hankook Icebear W300 225/45/17 V rated.
Most years the snow comes and goes. And I really hate steels.
It really p*ssed the son off, He took off his M3 rims 235/40/17 to put on 195/50/15 steels they just fit on.
He is out looking for some 17" to catch  his old man :rofl:

Good alternative to steel wheels. You can have some real fun in the snow with that for sure.

Nice winter wheels....I like the 5 spoke look more than the factory look.

Going through old threads in Show and Shine.

Love those wheels and the hardtop too.

Is there a rivalry between your son and you?  :)

Those wheels remind me for some reason of Mercedes wheels...  are they stock BMW, or aftermarket?
