Going on a Roadtrip NYE - What is a hot winter wheel for a space grey 4.8 X5 Sport?

wisco · 12-22-2010, 09:39 AM

Hey all. My friend just bought a 07 X5 with the 20 in wheels. I'm going to pull the trigger today or tomorrow on a set of winter wheels for him (he's car illiterate). Any good wheel and tire packages out there that are asthetically appealing? Ideally would like to get a set before the 30th - we are taking a road trip from Milwaukee WI to NYC.

Lets see some ideas on what you guys like!

Initial thoughts after some research is to get the square set up - with 214 reps or use the existing wheels although not sure how much protection is offered on the rear wheels with 275's instead of 315's as this post illustrates:

Wonder where I can find 214 reps... any other ideas?

I got Blizzak DM V1 installed and they are great so far.
