My new winter wheels and tires installed. - XBimmers

Hey everyone.
I finally had my winter wheels and tires installed this week. I didn't have time to wash her yet so forgive me for the dirty pics.
I decided to go with the standard tire size of 245 50 18 run flat Michelin's. The wheels are 35 offset hub centric rotary forged and are powder coated,
they are super light weight weighting less than 20LB each. The X3 now drives so much smoother than the 19" continentals summers and handling is not much different.
Overall I am very happy with this purchase and the overall look.
Enjoy

I got the identical wheels, I love mine too. BTW try them with the BMW center caps from your OEM set, it will give them a 100% oem look.

jsplayin :I did not even think of putting the original caps on. Thanks, I guess I need to wait until next year.

No snow for the holidays. This will be a first.

After putting on my summer RFT with the 309 wheels all I can say is with the sportline wheels the car drives so much better. The 309 wheels are so heavy it almost make the X feel sluggish and less agile.
