Where do Canucks buy winter tire wheels/tires from?

Looks good!

Not sure if they are the F30 wheels but here is the link to the R163A wheels. Yes they are 255/35/19 at all 4 corners.

Victor has responded and advised that he could provide the following discounts on winter wheel and tire options for F8X's:

Two (2) or Three (3) customers $150*
Four (4) or Five (5) customers $200*

Of course if there are more than 5 people looking to get in on this, he can provide a deeper discount. You would have to reach out to him and discuss wheel and tire sizes etc. and then apply the appropriate discount.

Hope this helps and good luck!

Thanks for organizing this. I'm in!

Just in time as well as my CA advised me today my car went into production status 150.

Nice..very exciting I am sure!

So we have 1 down...anyone else? Another committed buyer get's $150 off the total package price!

So the price would be the $2600 that one member had paid, less $150 for the group buy, less $100 (approx.) for pick up if the buyer is local, plus install (or just put 'em on yourself).

Have I got that right?
Thanks.

That sounds about right...again that's if you buy the package I bought...19" reps with Mich Alpin's. Prices vary if you choose to go 18's with a diff tire so it could be cheaper.

In the end, 2 plus buyers will get a better deal than I did!

I am still on the fence as to whether or not I will be driving my M4 during the winter.
I may just grab a set so I can take it out on the nicer days though.

No problem!

As soon as my rep gets back to me on delivery of mine, I'm thinking I might get on this too. I just don't want to get winters if my car comes end of January.

Just curious as to why the GTA winter wheel group buy is cheaper than ours?

I don't know what the offering in that thread is but it will all depend on number of people, wheel size and tire choice. What's their pricing so far? If better, might be best to jump in with them?

In the end, the closer we get to winter, the harder it will be to secure a package!

I just checked here in Montreal and a set of 18's reps with Nokian Hakka will run me $1900 plus tax.

That seems like a good deal.

Have you tried Victor from Rennsport Tire? If two people buy from him, he'll knock an additional $150 off for each person. I'm ready to buy right now.

BTW, did you get a production week yet?

Agreed. I am pretty confident he would beat that price.

You mind sharing what wheels, tires etc are part of the package? This might help fellow Mtl'ers if they are looking.

Yes forgot to mention.

I'm most likely going with 19" Replikas (R141A) on 255/35R/19 Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4. All in is $2500. This includes Hunter Road Force balancing (which is worth around $150 - better than standard balancing), BMW roundels and M badging.

If you were to go 18" Replikas on 255/40R/18 Bridgestone Blizzak LM001, the price is $1988 all in. I would've liked to go with Michelins PA4's, but unfortunately they don't make it in a 255/40R/18 size.

Now if we can get multiple people, we get an additional discount. 2-3 people will get a $150 discount and 4-5 people will get a $200 discount.

Special thanks to M3 F80 for setting up this mini group buy with Victor.

Nice!

Was hoping Habber would post up his findings too!

Hi Guys,

Sorry for the delay. I spoke with Ludovic at Pneus A Rebais here in Montreal (Laval). He has all sorts of BMW reps (check their website) and he was telling me that the 2 colour wheels aren't recommended for winter since the salt will eventually ruin the finish. He told me to take either full black or full silver wheels and seemed extremely knowledgable about the M3. He quoted me 19's at $2600 plus tax (forgot the sizes) or 18's at $1900 plus tax and both were with the Nokia Hakka's. He didn't even bother talking about Blizzak's or other tires since he told me he primarily deals with BMW and Audi cars and told me this would be the best choice with our high HP/torque vehicles. He has rep's that are exactly like the ones that come on our cars and has other BMW reps too.

I'm thinking that I would like to pull the trigger within 2 weeks since I know that many of these shops run out of tires since they don't want to hold too much inventory past December. I was originally looking for 19's but the price difference between 19's ad 18's are big enough to justify 18's now (and we all know the thicker tire wall will help too). MAGSARABAIS.COM but I think it's only in french. I am planning on going to see him wither this weekend or next and they also offer free delivery within Canada.

Let me know your thoughts guys. The one thing I liked, was that once I told the guy that i had the M3 (still waiting for production week) he told me that he has 18's to clear those big blue brakes, so at least that confirmed that he had experience with our cars and wasn't clicking away on a keyboard to get his answers.

Hey Frozen, have a read at my findings with Pneus A Rebais. I didn't get my production week yet but my rep told me it's coming real soon.

EDIT: IT WAS MAGS A REBAIS NOT PNEUS. My bad

Keep in mind that Hakkas aren't winter performance tires. But I guess in Montreal (I go there for business many times), it's more important to have traction for all those hills you have. Here in Toronto, when it snows, it's cleared pretty quickly so I opted for winter dry performance over snow traction. We also don't have that many steep hills to deal with.

Nice, hopefully it's soon. My car went into status 150 on Sept 26th. I've been checking the BMWVIN tool. Looks like there are now 46 M3's in front of me. They make around 11 M3's a day so I imagine my car should finish production some time around Oct 5th. Then the super long wait to get to Toronto begins.

Assuming mine gets into production within a week, we might be on the same ship. If so, I might have the advantage being closer to Halifax.

Are we racing to see who gets it first lol???

[Habber]

Ironically just got my status 150 so I'm assuming we will be on the same ship. The fun starts now.
