winter wheel question for Gary

heel and toe · 09-27-2008, 12:05 PM

I have a set of Mille Miglia Spider II wheels that I used on my E90 325i last year with Dunlop Wintersport runflats. Unfortunately I bent one of the wheels beyond repair towards the end of the season. I now have 3 wheels and 4 good tires...

The wheels I have are (as far as I can tell) no longer available anywhere...so my options are as follows:

1) buy 2 new wheels and remount two of the tires. I will then have mismatched wheels, but I don't think this will be a huge problem if I keep them matched front to rear. Are there any wheels that look similar enough to the MM Spider II's?

2) buy 4 new wheels and remount all the tires. I don't want to spend the money and scrap 3 good wheels as I will be selling this car next fall!

Also, is there any concern with dis-mounting and re-mounting runflat tires?

thanks for your advice!

Other than the cosmetic appearance difference this shouldn't be a problem. Unfortunately I don't know of any wheels that look much like the Spider II, sorry.

No problem with dis-mounting and remounting the runflat tires.

i would be sure to check out the tire too for sidewall damage. if you bent a wheel, it most probably was a considerable hit
