Winter wheels

Oslermarine · 07-08-2014, 06:54 PM

Hey guys/gals,

Any suggestions on a reasonable winter wheel/tire combo? I've got the 20" 310 wheels with all season tires and would prefer not to destroy them this winter.

Buy up oem 18s or 17s that are factory fit to the X3. There are also a lot of used winter packages for the 7 series and 5GT. Those two vehicles use the same size tire as the X3, though offsets may be different.

The OEM wheels, 304, 305 & 306 will fit 28i and not fit 35i, 35d ( see USA & Germany website), dealer says the front brakes are larger on 35. Hence for 35, 18" V spoke 307.
Last year Can price was $3653 (no TPMS) Whereas US price $2796 with TMPS & installed.

I would go for OEM winter t/w package in say Sept. In Canada the dealer says the package is appx $1500 to $2k cheaper as a set. I prefer the safety of an OEM wheel rather than cheaper knock offs. Peace of mind and safety.
