I wasnt sure how to change the title in the original post from Summer to winter. So i started a new thread, with a link to the old one which has the pics.

Citizen Z · 10-26-2008, 05:41 PM

Those wheels are choice. What model/offset?

ruffstik · 10-26-2008, 05:45 PM

I've got those wheels too...they sure are popular! Which tires did you go with?

tnawab · 10-26-2008, 05:45 PM

18Inch actually.

tnawab · 10-26-2008, 05:47 PM

I went with the cheaper goodyear tires.
You?

ruffstik · 10-26-2008, 05:50 PM

The Dunlop Winter Sports M3....will be getting the wheels mounted in about a week.

tnawab · 10-26-2008, 05:54 PM

Weird thing is that when i mounted the wheels the TPS sensor didnt complain. I know in canada we have a different type of sensor, its not TPMS (as in its not mounted on the wheel). Its TPW or something, its mounted on the abs and measures the rotation of the tire compared to the others. I would have still thougth that the sensor would complain, and that I would have to reset it.

I just picked up the same set but 18's with 225/45 and BMW center caps because they fix these rims. Will post pics in 2 weeks once i get them installed.

pavelitto · 10-28-2008, 04:54 AM

tnawab · 10-28-2008, 09:16 AM

Caution to all of you who decide to go the same size tire all around (which is what I did too)... make sure the shop that mounts the tires (on my oem wheels) puts the back wheels in the back and the front wheels in the front!!! I went to pick up my car and could barely drive it as it felt like the emergency brake was on... needless to say the idiots did just what I explained and the tire was rubbing up against the front shock.

What amazes me is that somebody drove the car from the garage and parked it without realizing that!!! I just don't get how that is possible.

Also double check air pressure and if you have directional tires which way the arrow points.
