Elbrus I02 reviews?

jkp1187 · 06-20-2009, 07:14 AM

Anyone running Elbrus I02 on their 1er?

Need to get a set of dedicated wheels for winter duty, and since I can't get steel wheels, these had a decent look to them, for being imports from China. Anyone had any quality issues with them (leaking, easy to bend, that sort of thing)?

Anyone?

I'm looking at the Elbrus I02 for my winter setup .. or the Sport Editions A7s. But it seems like there's a lack of information out there on Elbrus.

Well, I ended up buying them, and they're sitting in my garage now. They look nice, and it looks like the Roundel should fit, too. I'll take some pics when I put them on the car in November.

Any pics of them on your car?

The BMW caps do fit and we have these produced for us, per our specifications. I wouldn't hesitate to use them on my car.

I got a set of 17" for winter (with some blizzak tires) from tirerack.com in December.

I have had no trouble so far.

Yep, I got 17" with 215/45 Blizzaks as well, no problems to report. They're a lot more comfortable than those 18" RFTs -- considering all the potholes that were formed after all those blizzards we had in February, I hate to think what those would ride like. Sorry, never got around to taking pictures.

Unfortunately, I scuffed one of them on a curb while trying to maneuver past a delivery truck on a poorly-plowed narrow road the other day.

But that was my fault, not the wheels'.

If you do take any pics, would you post them for us to see.
