Snow wheel and tire combo

human · 11-17-2006, 04:23 PM

I'm considering this option - it's expensive and was wondering what you guys (and girls) think?

For the money, is this a good choice?

Funny how you were at 158 posts when I looked at this...

I have this combination and I think it is great for winter driving. You can see a picture in my run-flat tire article in the (I believe) March Roundel

I do miss my 162s during winter but I CAN drive up an incline now.

i have them, and i bought them for peace of mind, and the fact that BOTH my summer and winter tires/rims are now covered under my tire warranty that i purchased through BMW. Also i like the run flats, that gives me peace of mind too, a bit pricy, but dont mind.

I just installed 162's with Blizzak LM-25s - yes, staggered. Technically not 'optimal'. However, I ran staggered 18s on my e46 M3 with Michelin Aplin snows. It was better than my wife's Jeep shod with All Seasons!

Horrible looking wheels. I would go with a second set of 162s with Blizzaks.

+1 really dont like 158s only reason i didnt opt for the zsp

GregL · 11-17-2006, 09:14 PM

To each his own I guess, I like them

remmib · 11-17-2006, 09:17 PM

They are OK for winters

BK · 11-17-2006, 11:21 PM

FWIW, I think they look nice. Not the prettiest BMW wheels, but certainly not bad at all.

bmwmike · 11-20-2006, 12:03 AM

I've seen them in person on the E92 335i and for 17" wheels they look pretty good on that model. Good enough that I bought them. Oh, i have seen them on the 330 too and i think they look ok. You do, however, pay a premium for BMW parts. I got Nokian RSI tires and will be putting them on this week and heading up to Whistler to do some skiing.
