BMW Wheel Style 158 - E90+

Great looking wheels that are excellent for Summer and Winter tires.

7 Spokes

ET 34
5 Lug
120 mm Bolt Pattern

Individual part number: 36116775596


I ordered the BMW Cold Weather Star Spoke 158 Wheel and Tire Assembly. The tires are Bridgestone Blizzak LM-25 RFT and excellent in the snow. Assembly comes with TPMS and balanced. 

Part number for set: 36110439636

Winter wheel set can be purchased without wheel caps, tires, TPMS, and lug nuts here: BMW Genuine E90+ Style 158 17" Wheel Set

OEM valve stem caps compatible with TPMS in case you need replacements.

I applied Klasse ALL-IN-ONE Polish  and Klasse High Gloss Sealant Glaze  to protect them from the harsh winter and road salt. Klasse is made out of acrylic and lasts a very long time.
 
I highly recommend using a durable polymer wax to protect your wheels and looking great. An good alternative to Klasse is Optimum Opti-Seal.

If you are new to detailing and want to buy a kit that comes with microfiber towels and applicators, look here: The Klasse Kit.

BMW Wheel Style 416 - F30 3 Series

BMW Wheel Style 416

F30 3 Series Luxury Line Wheel
18" Size 8x18 245/45/18 front and rear
Part # 36116796249











I really like the look of the style 416 wheels. When I first viewed them in pictures, I thought the wheel was too busy looking and boring. My perspective has changed after seeing these 18" wheel in person and they are great for the 3 Series luxury line.

Cleaning these wheels will take time with all the spokes and very small spaces. I recommend using a thin wheel brush kit and dedicated soft microfiber towel to get all the spokes clean.

I recommend using ABN Woolies Wheel Brushes Kit to clean the tight spaces between the spokes.
