Living in Westchester County, NY just north of NYC. Have been looking for a winter tire and wheel package. Did not see much at Tire Rack, in the way of wheels (their availability is low) and BMW prices are insane. Looking at the Dunlop SP Winter Sport M3 to pair with a set of wheels.

Does anyone have any suggestions. Looking to spend about $2500 all-in.

19" Wheels on vehicle now, will go to 18" for winter

Thanks

In 17" we still have the Rial Salerno, which is a great wheel for the price. With the Dunlops I doubt you'd notice much worse handling in 17" vs 18" and it should be more economical.

In 18" you're right, there isn't much left (Sport Edition E1, Kosei K3), but we do have more of the Sport Edition KV5 wheels coming back into stock in about two weeks...not a bad looking wheel.

Gary, your website indicates the 17" Rial Salerno are out of stock until (est.) 1/7/08. Is that correct, or do you, in fact, have some available?
