I don’t want to spend a fortune, but require a tyre that will give me more stability in the rain and will feel smoother when driving.
Someone has suggested uni-royals. I would be geatful of any sugestions.
Many thanks
Just buy the tires that the BMW fitted it to originally. Pirelli is a good brand. There are many kinds of Pirelli, try their "Z" rated tires

Anyone know where I can get a set of BMW chrome wheels?
Got a cert preowned 745Li. Thought I’d be OK with the alloys. Changed my mind.
I know the dealership has em… and other sources?
(Lookin for19’s offset like the stocks.)
Thanks
If you want to tune-up a 745Li, you can choose from after-market brands such as BBS,Santera,OZ Racing…BMW choices of wheels/rims quite limited.
I’d go for OZ Racing,they look perfect on a 745Li.
Make sure when you buy the tires at the same time with the wheels so you’d get them balanced properly at the dealer.
Good luck

Can I upgrade my 1998 bmw 328is with wheels and tires from a 2007 bmw 328xi?
Yes and no…
The wheels will fit, the offset and lug pattern are compatible.
The problem is the E90 (and even E46) tire sizes are slightly larger than the E36.
So if you fit a take-off wheel and tire set from an E90 car, your speedometer will read slightly low. But it’s not a big deal unless you lower your car – then, it might scrape against your wheel well/fender.

Can I buy a brand new car (BMW) without buying the wheels?
I plan to buy custom wheels for it.
NO! When you buy a vehicle, any vehicle, it has to be road worthy right off the show room floor. You can buy the car, then take the car to a tire and wheel shop and sell the tires and wheels to the shop. Personally, having an extra set of wheels and tires for winter use is a smart way to go, unless you live somewhere that doesn’t have inclement weather in the winter, like SanDiego, CA. You can also sell the wheels and tires on Craigslist and put that money towards the purchase of the new ones.

Is it possible to put 17" wheels instead of the stock 16" wheels on a 2006 BMW 325i?
I have a 2006 BMW 325i with the stock 16" aluminum wheels. Is it possible for me to put 17" wheels and tires in the well, or will that mess something up? I’m hoping to install some new chrome wheels, but I don’t know if that’ll be a problem. Can somebody please help me with this please? Thank you!
Yes, you can install 17 inch wheels on your 325i provided the wheels are Bona-fied BMW hub centering wheels with the correct width and offset. If you have the wheels available, it would be very wise to mount the new wheels as a trial on both the front and rear of your car to be sure there is adequate clearance for the tire, steering arms, and fender lip, especially in the front.
