Just ordered my winter tire set

Alutec 17/7.5 wheels with Blizzak WS80 from tire rack.

According to tire rack they will clear the M235 break calipers.

Thought hard about ice and snow vs. winter performance tires. Went with the first, though I have xDrive and live in the Midwest.

We will see, if I was too conservative. Other options would have been LM32s.

What is your experience with the WS80 in dry conditions?

Simple, good looking wheel. Personally I'm going 18" performance winters but I'll see far more cold rain than snow.

Would you mind posting pictures when you get them? Maybe standing near the car?

Looking at this package as well, but it's always hard to tell what wheels will look like based on the stock photos.

Sure. Back ordered for early October.
