Nice pic! Anyone else ordering, please don't forget to refer to the forum using the instructions in my sig, thanks!

monkey_wrench · 10-10-2011, 11:50 AM

Here's another one.

I tried to get in touch with you, Gary, to order, but my thread and email remained un-responded. No luck by phone either.

Thinking of getting a set of the Salernos for my winter set up. Anyone have recommendations on Silver vs. Anthracite on a AW E90?

Just in case the pics will help others chime in with their opinion.

setofvs · 10-31-2011, 12:57 PM

Thanks Gary,

Yeah I used the Tirerack visualization tool, think I'm leaning towards anthracite...
Any recommendations on non-RFT (LM60) vs RFTs (LM-25)?
Also, how many miles do these winter tires usually last?

Made for winter/thanks to everyone for the previous pics:

javamon · 01-04-2012, 01:36 PM

Updated pic, snow added.

Fantastic setup, btw - this wheel + x-ice xi2s. If you're not trying to do something stupid, like starting from a dead stop on a san francisco-sized grade, it renders AWD unnecessary. Even when I did that, it made it up the hill. Just.

Zengineer · 07-11-2012, 11:47 PM

Reviving this from the dead. Why is this considered a winter wheel? I like it and am considering it for an all year wheel. Any reason why thats a bad idea?

javamon · 07-12-2012, 09:29 AM

No reason at all. It was just new option (in Anthracite, at least) at TTR last winter in their winter combos and one a few of us picked. Great wheel.

I liked the look enough that I've been kicking around the idea of picking up another set to run in the summer, actually.

It can be used year round. Many use it as a winter wheel because it is a good quality wheel in 17" that fits over 335i brakes, is inexpensive and good looking.

Thanks for the replies guys! I figured this was the case (a wheel is a wheel is a wheel?), but wanted to make sure I wasn't overlooking a consideration.

Hopefully I can order a set of these soon!

Does anyone have more pics of the anthracite on a jet black e90?

I'm close to buying the 17-inch anthracites, but would like to see some more pics.

I think I like the idea of 17s with all season non-rft (DWS) for ride quality, I do about 24k miles per year and much of it is on relatively rough roads in Oklahoma.

Then if i decide I want bigger wheels down the road, I can get 18 or 19 summers and make these my winters.

Yes, I am typing this out loud to try to talk myself into it, haha.

do you have any pictures of your E90, if you do i can photoshop some onto your ride.

Zengineer · 08-19-2012, 09:25 PM

I dont have a good side shot, maybe it would be easier to photoshop some of the pictures above and change the color of the car to black?

I tried with pixlr and think I like them.

Here's the only exterior pic I currently have uploaded:

Digging up an old thread but I have an extra 18x8 anthracite Rial Salerno wheel for sale. Brand new in box if anyone is looking to replace a curbed or beat up winter wheel. Will let go for a good price!

sport330i6spd · 11-22-2014, 03:41 PM

Bump for this thread with a question about what winter Rials do for the car's geometry...

I've got 17" Rial Salerno rims on my car right now, for the winter, with 225/45R17 rubber. The car is a 2006 330i sport package, and in the summer uses the stock style 162 wheels on 225/40R18 fronts and 255/35R18 rears, as from the factory.

The original wheels have an ET 34 front and ET 37 rear. Not sure about the Rials, I think ET 29?

Question: With the Rials the front wheels will be sticking out 5mm further than stock, and the rears 2mm further than stock. Is this something to be worried about, wear-and-tear / safety wise? And spacers won't help right because they'd just make them stick out further...

skunkd · 12-10-2014, 08:18 PM

Is anyone running this wheel on an e90/92/93 xi awd?
