Sexy Winter Setup (SWS)...

Upgrade+ · 11-29-2008, 04:01 PM

Just ordered these from tirerack.com. I wasn't sure when I decided on them, but after they were on I was in love with them. I like them so much and I'm very satisfied with them. They are 17x7.5 btw (sorry for the camera phone quality):

Not my cup of tea but its nice that you can get the winter wheels. The weather can be harsh so +1 to you. I for one have not driven my car for weeks and I live in SoCal.. My car won't be coming out until about June since I'll be out of the country from Jan-June anyways

<3K miles at >1year of age.. haha

AdamG1164 · 11-29-2008, 09:10 PM

not feeling those wheels at all, sorry...

Put the BMW roundels in the center cap spot and I think they'll look better. But hey they're only winter wheels anyway I think they look fine for the purpose.

ehh chrome? nope. they look like a bigger version of Honda's Blades

Nope, not chrome my friend. Bright silver finish. I knew I'd have nay sayers, but the pics don't do them justice. Plus, I wanted to get something different from the km11's everyone is getting. They'll be tested soon too, just had first snow fall lol.

Citizen Z · 11-30-2008, 11:38 AM

Those'd look pretty good on a Chevy Cavalier...

1HungryMan · 11-30-2008, 12:18 PM

I agree. Those are really baddddd.

adrean8j · 11-30-2008, 12:33 PM

^^^Ouch! Hey for winter wheels they look just fine...but don't go and try pimpin' them in the summer....you might have to look out for snipers taking potshots at you! LOL...

AlBel1214 · 11-30-2008, 12:44 PM

So are you going to take your 135i out to Streets of Willow in Dec.? You should... before it goes into hibernation. Check out www.speedventures.com. They have some good sessions on Dec. 12-14.

morgie2 · 11-30-2008, 01:18 PM

I think they look fine.

They're winter wheels and have a nice design... Now if someone tried rockin' them in the summer, I'd have an issue.

lambammm · 11-30-2008, 03:23 PM

i wish i had two more hands so i could give those rims four thumbs down

Oinker1 · 11-30-2008, 04:33 PM

Wow, those are the ugliest wheels I have ever seen--I'd be asking for a refund from TireRack. You have made your one series into a Ford Focus nightmare with two crappy pics....oy!

corpsman · 11-30-2008, 04:47 PM

Ihave to agree with the others. Imho, they look like you took them off a 82 honda civic. I had one, back in the 80s.

corpsman · 11-30-2008, 04:49 PM

Btw, what on earth ,makes you want to call these "sexy"? :iono:

AlBel1214 · 11-30-2008, 05:19 PM

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit...

Just a little?

BlackjackMulligan · 12-01-2008, 11:56 AM

you guys are brutal. They are far better than some of the crap blingy 5 piece 19 and 20in wheels people spend an arm and a leg on for their everyday wheels. They're winter wheels for cripes sake!
