As these wheels are supposed to be made specifically as 'winter wheels' I wonder what is winterised about them, extra tough paint maybe?

The Borbet wheels have arrived, excellent service from both Mr Ww & Tyre Leader and I can confirm than the wheels do have a recess for the TPMS

Good look applying the C5, doing mine now used a 1/3 of the bottle on the first wheel

it's near impossible to see where it's been applied!

I found exactly the same thing when I applied it to the e90 wheels, I'd bought the larger 30ml bottle which shouldv'e done 2 full sets of wheels but I used most of it on the first set

Is that the 18", hope so, cause those 17" looked tiny.

Yes 18" - They could be on for the best part of 6 months & I just couldn't bring myself to go with 17" for that long.

Looks good I agree with you on going for the 18 instead of 17 inch ones! do you by any chance have a photo of your car with the new set on? I am thinking of going for the same setup.

I've not had the rubber fitted on the wheels yet, may do this tomorrow and put them on the car see how she looks!

I got my F11 run flat Winter Tyres from Tyreleader. I got the Borbet wheels with 3D Dunlop tyres. On the minus side they aren't UK based, but on the plus side they are a bit cheaper than a UK based option.

Anyway, what I ordered arrived when they said it would so I have no complaints.

Here they are on the car

Looking good, thanks for the photo e92liv!

Probably the nicest winter tyre set up that I've seen
