The look good for winters, but they're so cheap I'd be a bit weary. They're not hub-centric to begin with as it says you have to pay extra for hub rings. I have no idea how hub rings work as I've never used them before so I don't know if that's a real issue or not. Anyhow, if they work they do look good, at least for winters...

Having the need for hub rings does not mean that the wheels are not hub centric. It just means that the hub size of the wheels is not correct for BMW application.

Most of the time the wheel hub hole is larger than needed which allows them to be used universally - in that case a simple set of aluminum hub rings are included that slide over your hub and into the hole of the wheel - making them a tight fit.

Hub rings are used all the time - the new winter wheel/tire combo I just bought this season from TireRack has hub rings and so do the set I bought for the wife's G6 GT vert from same place...

Definitely take pics for me once you put them in.

I'm from toronto as well, but have the advantage of being in the US until christmas so I could save on some shipping probably by getting them sent here then driving them back over with me.

Curious to see what these look like once you got them put on. Any pics?
