Those look much better on than I thought they would. Nicely done

I like the wheels

A little bit like the AC Schnitzer wheels for the F10

DARE RF 20" * 8.5" Fronts 10" rears.
Not available to anyone though

I just got lucky.

jet888 · 10-30-2013, 09:26 AM

Nice!

If you go the dealership route, what wheels do they supply you with? Standard 19's?

Not sure TBH, never used Dealer supplied wheels on any of my "M Cars". Or any BMW's.

6spdterror · 10-30-2013, 09:29 AM

Those actually look very nice. Anyone here have any real experience driving an M5 in snow? I love my car so much that i dont want to put it away for months! With snow tires is a rear wheel drive car going to be a decent snow performer?

These are tested here:
http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/news/par...ichelin-alpin/

And a video of Porsche tests on the net somewhere, they are rated highly.

Those look great and thanks for posting. I just ordered my first M5, and although I do have another 'Winter" vehicle, I sure would like to drive the M full year. These Michelins look good and will investigate my options for this side of the pond.

The dealer route is the 19" 408m wheel.

mwlmd · 10-30-2013, 04:24 PM

Do you have spacers on? The offset looks a bit negative. Those fronts will spit up lots of road stuff sticking out of the wheel well in the winter.
