OE X1 steelies will fit

So there definitely has only ever been one permutation of 17" X1 steelies yeah?

 

You may find a few people make them, but they're all to the same spec. They fit. I have them.

 

Ah good stuff
and should I expect issues with insurance/handling or anything?

 

Also...sorry last Q!
225/50/R17 tyres..ok? or not?

 

Bit tall, I've 225/45/17 and that seems fine.

The seller just came back to me saying they didn't fit his 120 M Sport, so he doesnt think I should try? Why would they not fit his? :?

Could be an E series 120?

 

ET34 is probably a bit wide for an E-Series. There's more room under ours, although the rears are probably as much as you'd like to go.

 

This is mine.

 

Looking good Mike..

I'm definitely feeling it.

 

You're not winning any beauty contests, but if some clown runs you off the road and you make a 50p of the wheel on a kerb (it's happened to me) - then you're not hundreds of £ down on a new alloy.

 

Hi guys I know the ad loads of threads covering this but most are a few years old, where is the cheapest place to find the steel wheels?

Cheers.

Would these fit?

Have you see these?

Having said that, I quite like these from Mr Winterwheels:

Which model do you have to pretend to be on the 'select model' drop down or are they all the same fitment? (the price stays the same I see)

Also what do you do about the tyre pressure sensors? go without or will they will these wheels?

 

Yep the x1s and that tyre size fit - I have 'me on mine

Thread answered from last year - impressed that you found it but why!?

 

Hmmm not sure came up as a recent thread!

 

los desaparecidos why's it funny?

 

I quite like the look of steels, it has a kind of blues brothers feel
It's fairly obvious to anyone looking at them that they are temporary winter setup, rather than thinking why has he got those alloys on that car? Or something like that

Personally I don't think Ill have an issue driving about with them when I put mine on in December
Well...an issue looks wise, it remains to be seen how it drives..

 

Drives fine - but depends on the tyres.

In my experience, the Michelin Alpin 5s are too squidgy. The best I have used otherwise (the only others) were Continental 850s - these were much better.

 

I'm on Michelin cross climates now, better than the Contis I had back then.
