screw them

Dealer is wrong.I never had the sensors in my winter tires and i also never had any lights/codes.

Same here, no sensor and no warning. The canadian models have FTM(Flat tire monitor) and use the ABS sensor.

Can someone explain more on the center cap ... The one from wheel won't fit.

Your Oem Wheel cap from your stock wheels should fit in the hole.

To be honest, I didn't try but by looking at them they do not look like they will fit and the guy from Tire Rack said the same thing.

Are yours OEM and working?

The one I have now don't quite fit, had to glue them but they are not OEM size, the wheel caps that came with my 18" stock wheels fitted perfectly. Trust the tirerack guy...

Here are 2 pics I took with the new wheels. The pics are not high quality and the car is dirty but...

Bump.. Looking at this setup for the upcoming winter.

1. I read these are +45 offset. OEM winters are +47. Any issues there?
2. renaud00 - where did you get the centrecaps!!??

Thanks!

renaud00 · 07-20-2011, 03:51 PM

No problem at all with the offset since the wheel are a little wider than the Winter OEM.

The center caps are not BMW but they came with the wheels purchase from tirerack.com

Malm · 07-22-2011, 11:04 AM

Thanks for the reply.

Also, are you running 205's or 215's?

renaud00 · 07-22-2011, 03:00 PM

I went with 225. The guy from the part department Basically told that it would expect better since the 135i is really powerful.

Malm · 08-10-2011, 04:28 PM

225/45 ?

No rubbing?
