Winter wheels fitted now bring on the snow!!

[Buzznuts]

Well bought myself some 18"winter wheels on toyo A/T open country rubber. This will be the first time I have specifically used winter wheels and I am looking forward to seeing just how much difference they will make. The x5 usually sits on 20" Le Mans staggered so it was pretty obvious that those bad boys would just act like ski's in the white stuff to which that would then render the 4x4 useless in turn having my better half nagging for buying one in the first place. Just how much better can I expect the driving to get from using winters?

Do you have any pictures, and where did you get them fitted? Is there anyone in County Durham who supply wheels & tyres at good price?

It probly wont snow since I got the rrs for winter as past 3 year I would of been snowed in had I not had the x5. So bought that after realising I had no 4x4 for winter

Wheels where Bought from a forum member near Blackburn. They are e70 wheels with spigots to correct the bore size. I got them at a bargain price considering they have 8mm tread left and wheels have no major marks. I have been watching sets on eBay with half this tread depth go for more than I paid.
Not to keen on the width in the arches though imay add spacers just to push them out a little. I will add pics when I get some.

Tell me about it. Since moving house to the top of a big hill and getting snowed out of home whilst at work i decided to get 2 sets of winter wheels - one for the van and one for the x5.....not seen a drop of snow since! Dunno if its a good omen or just murphys luck! Lol
