New winter tire/wheel combo

turbo38sfi · 12-15-2003, 11:38 AM

Hey Guys, I just got an RMA to ship these back to Tirerack, just wondering if there was any interest? If so, let me know, I can always not send them back. They are super tires and currently out of stock, they are NEW, stickers still on them and if I ship today you'll have them in 3 days or so in time for the next storm

Here's the details.

I ordered them, and am now having 2nd thoughts about driving the M this winter... They are brand new, never installed. 17x8 Mille Miglia Spider II wheels and 225/50HR-17 Dunlop Winter Sport M3 which they are now out of stock on. Prefer local sale, MA/NH pickup or delivery. Figured I'd post it rather than send them back for now and see if there's any interest

Here's the wheel:

Price?

Nice Pic, you look like you could use them!

I paid 1423 for them. I can return them to tirerack and get 1336. So If I can get 1300 for them, that's cool, it would save me a little hassle of having to lug them to the shipping center.

Where are you located?

Yikes, a little too much for me for winter tires. The Mille Miglia wheels look nice though, but I planned on getting 18 or 19s in the spring and making my stock rims the winter wheels.

I'm in Pelham NH by the way.

Yea, I paid 1400 and some change, I thought it was steep too, but when you're driving a BMW am I going to skimp a few hundred dollars? Just my opinion though. One thing to consider if you plan to use the stock wheels for winter skins..you will not be able to rotate the tires because they are different width rims from front to back... On thing that's good about this set is they are rotatable.

No worries though, I have a RMA to send them back, I'll only be out my shipping cost. Just figured I'd see if anyone was interested in saving over $100 and not having to wait several weeks to see if Tirerack gets any more in this size since they are currently outta stock.
