Bought a 3.0D X5 Sport from a Bm dealer near to home, 06 plate Sterling grey and yes a full set of new winter wheels and tyres 17" is what i went for.

Bad experince in recent snow with the 19's though no damage will post some pic's soon

welcome to the site mate

Congrats on the purchase - really really like Sterling Grey on the X

Bought a set of 2nd hand 17inchers last week and fitted them 19s happily in the garage for a few months now

Not sure if I like your name though we had a 'BIG MOUSE' aka as a RAT who moved into our garage the week before christmas - my wife sighted the bugger climbing out of our garage bin - she was all for moving house there and then- as if xmas not stressful enough garage door had to be modified to ensure not even a worm could climb under it anymore......

Thats cos when I worked in Trowbridge I left home @ 5am and then I made the wise move of jacking in my job without another 1 to go to so I gought my scabbie old metro. Then I got a job before xmas on nights and only had to drive as far as the ham. 4th of Jan start another new job so back in the metro to drive to calne Still at least it'll keep the mileage low.....er
Oh and beer sounds great

[Big Rat]

Sorry about the job situation good luck with the new one , know what it feels like still looking for myself still the X5 will cheer me up - still gotta get a job to feed her though ! Looks like i will have to buy another Navara and go back hard landscaping. Well after the winter anyway !!!!!!!!!

See you have got your 19's in storage what i am doing with mine is i bought 2 pairs of microwave oven extending brackets for 30 squid and am hanging each wheel high up on the garage wall , they easily support the weight and it gets them out the way .
