winter tire wheels

iHarry · 10-18-2013, 10:16 PM

Hello all,

I'm shopping a set of wheels for winter tires. I've narrowed down my choices to the following two. Just wondering that which one would you choose. I really like the looking of the Breyton wheel, but i'm a little concerned about its strength, since it looks skinny.

Any suggestions are welcome! Thanks!

I love the Breyton! The other one looks too common.

Just my personal opinion.

I have a set of pristine style 307 wheels (18x8) for sale if you want to stick with OEM wheels.

I purchased the Enkei Raijin wheels a little more $$ but I believe a stronger wheel. Check them out before you buy.

the BE Breytons look like they're pressure cast while the Enkei are gravity cast.

Pressure Cast is supposed to be better...

Breytons require a centering ring, Enkei wheels do not, they are made in Thailand, also are given a special process(A/Mat) to increase strength.

That's a nice looking wheel too. Now it gets harder to make the decision. lol

I have a set of Breyton Race GTS wheels for my X3 and I love them. They look great and are plenty strong and I didn't need a center ring for my wheels. Breyton started out making their wheels specifically for AMG and BMW so the fit is great if you order the correct set.

nice wheel

. the one I posted is actually BE by Breyton. Anyone knows what's the difference between 'BE by Breyton' and Breyton?

BE by Breyton looks like a new line for non BMW's
