Mounted the snow tires today

davett · 11-16-2008, 03:40 PM

Doesn't look to bad but the handling suffers. Can't wait till spring...

Speedtrap · 11-16-2008, 04:21 PM

Do you get much snow around your way? How cold is the coldest?

Deda · 11-16-2008, 04:45 PM

looks fine.

Singletrack · 11-16-2008, 06:12 PM

Those don't look bad at all man.

alpineweissM3 · 11-16-2008, 06:53 PM

Nah, not bad at all.

Looks like you went non-staggered....correct?

Some years are mild but we can get winters with heavy snow fall also.

ACZakka325i · 11-16-2008, 09:17 PM

Was gonna go the same route in about a week, except staggered. Looks straight man!

Subw00er · 11-16-2008, 09:57 PM

Must have bought Blizzaks?!

Shoulda got wintersports.

What rims are those?! Look great.

Sport Edition A7 w/Dunlop D3

sparkyg · 11-17-2008, 08:24 AM

looks nice, wow, well done.

Big Windy · 11-17-2008, 08:40 AM

Wow, those A7s look pretty good actually. That is what I got too, but haven't mounted yet. Now I'm pretty stoked!

SV Concepts III · 11-17-2008, 11:48 AM

Those actually don't look half bad at all, nice choice

Drumm1n · 11-17-2008, 08:19 PM

Is this staggered? What's the width at the back???

A97Snipe · 11-19-2008, 09:37 PM

sweet look! where and how much?

n0kian · 11-20-2008, 01:48 PM

I just put a similar set up on my e90. I went with Bridgstone Blizzaks and the staggered wheels. Looks good man, enjoy the snow!

That looks great. I've driven on the dunlop 3D for a week now and they handle better than what I 1st thought in dry weather, no snow yet so that will have to wait.

Great White · 11-23-2008, 10:30 AM

Anyone know what the type number for those rims are ? They look cool

daltonnnn · 11-25-2008, 01:31 PM

The staggered look in the back looks better.

masmole · 11-25-2008, 02:14 PM

Very nice. Those are definitely one of the better-looking winter wheels I've seen. They suit the M3 well and look like an OEM design. I bet they'd look even better painted satin black for an AW M3.

iBEEM · 11-26-2008, 12:01 PM

Did the center caps from your OEM wheels fit, or did you get those separately? Just ordered the staggered setup for my E90 M3...

Thanks,

-Todd

The OEM center caps fit perfect.

AJBoston · 12-01-2008, 11:05 AM

Looks acceptable. I just went with the same non-staggered setup, Dunlop SP Wintersport 3D's, TPMS, and center caps. Will post pix when I bolt them on.
