The 335xi Finally Goes Into WINTER MODE!!!

Darkcyd_Turbo · 11-22-2009, 05:38 PM

Just wanted to share some crappy iphone pics of the winter setup! I apologize in advance but I was too lazy to get the D90 out. I'll update once I take some decent pics.

I guess it's very practical running black wheels on dirty winter roads. Looks cool.

Thank you! I was thinking the same thing when it came to choosing darker wheels for the winter. Less time spent trying to make them look clean lol.

LoL I know exactly what you mean but my street usually gets plowed late and I really like F'ing around in the snow so I wanted to make sure I have mass traction!

Great minds think alike...

I had these for over 2 weeks before I slapped them on this weekend. I knew snow wasn't going to come yet, I was just waiting for it to stay consistently cold before I put them on. My runflats were getting to be such a horrible ride. I know I'm going to regret saying this now but thank gawd for the cold lol because I really wanted to get these on the car.

And...almost forgot, thank you for the compliment!

Hey Darkcyd_Turbo, a little off topic, but could I ask you where you got your clear reflectors? Would you have any close up pics? I would like to get rid of the orange and would prefer these over the painted ones (which look odd to me!)

Your car looks great by the way, very nice winter set-up

I got my clear reflectors from JBSpeed who is a vendor on here. He's a good guy and it shipped out fast! Here is a link to the thread...http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=301192

Did you go staggered or square? And are those 18 or 19s?

Django,

I went with square...225/40/18's all around. Was advised that narrower tires would displace the snow better than wider tires.
