Matt Atterbury Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 (edited) I have been hunting round for some alloys to put some winter tyre's on, and got offered a set of Alpina's 17in 8j front's and 9j rear's from a e36 like this In good nick but no center caps, which is not too much of a problem as I have at least 3 in the garage, Will they suit the e46, I know it's only for winter tyre's but she still has to look nice Sorry I mean E36 Edited October 31, 2011 by Matt Atterbury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob- Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Going to doin like a stuck record but I'd go for the narrowest wheels you can get away with, wider wheels aren't good in the winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjn Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 They look good, but you want as narrow as possible for the best winter performance in the snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look good, but you want as narrow as possible for the best winter performance in the snow. I am having problems finding nice rims that are narrow I can get the alpina's for the right price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
