The weird thing here is that BMW Russland seems to know about X1 about as much as I know Deutsch. I mean, it's ridiculous guys. When I came to one of the dealers here in St. Pete, I found out that folks there didn't even heard about X1. Geez, talking with most of them is just a complete waste of time and money. Thinking about contacting dealers in Finland.
Until then, I am thinking about purchasing a set of wheels and tyres myself. Obviously, I need to know some parameters before purchasing the wheels (well, I think so, I may be wrong).
Since I am new to all these auto stuff (that's my first car ever), I would appreciate you guys help me to get the correct wheels.
I found some details on a German site.
I see that V-Spokes 317 are 7,5Jx17 225/50 R17 H. I think I need some more info to purchase the proper wheels.
Since the delivery is really slow (in my experience) here in Russia, I am thinking about purchasing 'temporary' Replica's until I get the genuine BMW's wheel. What do you think?
Thanks in advance. |
Hello!
I am also from Russia (St.Petersburg) and also have visited a lot of dealers before the purchasing of my brand new X1 (and it is also X1 sDrive18 but i). So I will disagree with - in Eurosib I was told about correct sizes of wheels but the price was enormous, so I`v checked Replica`s wheels - but the quality was awful, so I recommend you to look at WSP Italy clones
