Hi Lomag
Did you go for runflats or not. Having trouble making my mind up on them.
The roads in our NJ/NY area really get full of potholes in the winter, and therefore thought non-runflat snows would give a better ride and protect the rims better.
What Think?

I'm hoping to pick up a set of factory 17's but if I can't find the right deal, those are quite appealing. I've seen better looking wheels, but not for the price. I've always run a winter wheel/tire set up for the past 10+ years. I've bent a few wheels in my day (mostly replica wheels and some aftermarket) but have yet to bend a factory wheel. But for $129 I'd probably get an extra one just in case. (It would make a nice hose reel in the interim 
) Please post some pics once mounted.
Great job on the Forum, BTW

They are made in South Korea. It looks like they are a subsidiary of Hankook tire.

I ordered the same package for my 530i and was delivered last week. I got NON-run flats.
