Winter Tires and Rims 2004 330i

[Thief]

Hey everyone just would like some feedback, as I am approaching my first winter with my new 330i. I have done some searching and am finding that the tires on the car currently (from the manufacturer) will not cut in in an Ontario Canada winter. I have come across this deal for tires and rims and would like some of your advice.

The tires are BRAND NEW 225/45/R17 Goodyear Eagle Ultra Grip II, and the BMW rims. I have attached some pictures of the rims and tires. The asking price is $1800 Cdn.

All feedback welcome.

Thanks

$1800 CAD is $1433 USD - seems a little on the high side, but not terrible.

I just received wheels and dunlop M3's mounted, balanced and delivered for $1110 from
tirerack.com. I went with 16" wheels so there'd be more sidewall to absorb pothole impact.
There is only one wheel in 16" that fits the 330i. A fellow in CT ran these last winter and said they were great in the snow.

you should check out tirerack.com to get feedback from people who have used those tires.

good luck!

I will check out tirerack.com and read the reviews, but do you really believe $1800 CDN is too much, the price includes the rims?? YOu paid $1100 USD did that come with rims??

Appreciate your comments.

the $1100 was 4 tires, wheels, mounting, balancing and delivery.
this was for the Atalia type-5 wheels - the only 16" wheels that'll fit
a 330; and dunlop M3 tires.

$1453. for tires and oem bmw rims seems like a good deal to me. That means you are getting the rims for about $250 US a piece? I would rather have the OEM wheels than the Atalias.

I agree, that sounds like a hell-of-a-deal. Good luck...

good points - the wheels are pretty nice looking
