With tons of torque on an open left hand turn with 4 lanes wide open, I blipped the throttle just before apex and owned the turn with only front tire grip!

    If you can find cheap 17 inch x 7.5"-8" wide steel wheels with a 5x120 bolt pattern then that'd be great. But it might be easier to pick some stock 17" BMW rims on craigslist or equivalent.

    Yeah....brakes are bigger on 330's compared to 325's. I only know of one 16"x7.5" on tire rack can fit a 330. It's called Sport Edition A7 for $89 each. They come in silver or black (I think matte finish).

    I have the set on the right (silver A7's in 16's + Dunlop 3d) and was pleased with everything but the look. Replaced them recently with some CL style 73's. Advice to people making purchases of rims off Craigslist or any used rims, check closely for bends/cracks and other issues.

    Just keep looking. I got a steal of a deal new blizzaks ws70's with 17 rims that run true for $600. The tires have 13/32 tread so brand damn new.

    Night & Day difference over the no-seasons I used to run. No longer afraid to take the Bimmer out for a drive in the winter weather!
