Those are style 611 m. The winter tire and wheel Package comes with 611 m in Orbitgrey. I got the winter tire Package with these for here in Germany for winter, but ordered the 21 inch 612 m style wheels with my X5 M.

Yea, have the two-tone 21s now. Looking for the two tone 20 inch wheels. However, some of the winter 20s look like they are all one grey color and not the two tone look.

iconoclast · 10-23-2017, 02:58 PM

correct. from what i have seen all the bmw winter wheel packages are orbit grey.

Montesquieu1748 · 10-23-2017, 03:09 PM

To clarify my earlier post. The standard 20 inch 611 m are not what comes with the winter tire and wheel Package. These 611 m are optional equipment in lieu of the 21 inch 612 m, and have a polished outside edge.

If you get the winter package it is going to be all Orbit Grey, and will not have the polished edge you are looking for.

You definitely should be able to buy style 611 m that are polished. Probably just not as part of a winter package.

Great, thank you. That's what I was looking for.

The "winter" 611M also have a different rear width/offset than the "summer" 611M. They come with 285 cross section all the way around.

So, TireRack sold out of the 285/35/21 Yokohama Bluearth, and they won't get more for months. They do however have 295/35/21. Does anyone know of that will fit up front without any issues.

Same issue I had last year with the 21" and this is exactly why I ordered earlier than usual this year. EVERYONE was out of the Michelin in 21" for the this vehicle and Michelin did not start production on the winter tire until end of January 2017 and they did not ship until late February. Well past the point where I would need them. I wound up ordering 20" OEM wheels with tires, tpms and caps. Find a set up immediately or you will be in a similar situation.

I ordered the Yokohama bluearth with 295 up front 325 in the rear Installing Wednesday. Confirmed that the front will work fine so all is good.

Hmm, in similar boat and this could work for me. Looks like the 295/35s are about 1.4% taller than the 325/30s, just close enough to not cause any ECU issues? Definitely like the price.

This- that's increase could cause issue with your differentials.
