looking for new oem (spare tire for those of you who have chrome)
18"X8
245/50/18" BRIDGESTONE TURANZA EL42
I need a total of 3 but will buy 4 if I have to...
Please post location(zip code if possible) and asking price.
Some one may have damaged a wheel and only has 3 good ones for sale...you never know. Aside from that, your question should be: who buys three wheels...
i have my 21' rim/tire in the spare wheel well right now because i had a bubble in the PS2 tire. the 21" rim/tire fits but its a little tight.
heres a pic of the stock 19 that came with the car
There is a set of 4 19" at a place called red line tire on Northern Blvd, in Corona, i didnt see the condition but im sure you can get them pretty cheap.
lol 540, thats where I got my photo from. I have the same rims, they are covered in brake dust and have winter tires on. I have two sets for my 530 now. One is chrome(summer only) the other is the stock ones. The chrome ones look like the photo just chromed. On the 745 I have the stock rims pictured. I want two sets for the 7 also. I'm looking for new stock rims. I like the way they look....
540 thats what I do with my 530! now. Stock rims for winter, chrome in the summer....Looking to do the same with the 7 but dont want chrome. I just want a new set of oem for the summer..
Sunny is the 128 you have in the trunk 9" width or 10" wide?
I have 6 - 128's (dont ask) and just wondering which I should stick in the spare tire location.
diznik I have the same car...The wheels look the same. I guess I should take a picture and post it....I have an LI, dont know if that makes a difference. This is what I have on my 530 now....pretty hot but dont look right on the 7.....Rear is wider than front, I would have to use the rear ones from the 5 on the front of the 7 and get new ones for the rear of the 7...Aside from that I like the oem look on the 7...doesnt really need chrome..
not sure why you want another set of 18" though? you should get a set of 20" (like my car) or 21" if you want to keep the OEM look. Just keep your existing 18" rims as a back up/snow set. Those rims on your 5ser will look funny on the 7ser. IMO, if your gonna have a wheel with a big lip, it should be a 22" w/ low profile tire.
Diznik, I use the 7 for work....that is, I am a bud salesrep and use this car in the city(NYC) I dont know if you have ever been there but if not, the streets would be better off if they were dirt...low profile chrome would last me the time it takes me to get into the city from my house....Aside from that, the car is likely to get towed by dot. Thats what they do here....If it doesnt get towed, the wheels would get stolen.....I work mostly nights.
There are lots of sources for these. What are you not telling us?
