Mille Miglia Wheels

Im buying a set of snow tires and rims for the winter. I have narrowed it down to Dunlop winter sport M2 tires. For the rims I have been looking at the Mille Miglia MII-2. Has anyone ever had any exp with Mille Miglia rims?????

I hear they are decent quality but I havent heard from anyone with our autotopian standards.... Im buying the darker color so they wont show brake dust like the OEM.

Car is a 2003 BMW 325CI

Thanks

I bought a set of Mille Miglia Bellos with WinterSport M2 tires a couple of weeks ago.

Wheels appear to be of reasonably good quality - given the low price. There are some slight imperfections in the casting (under the paint), but the paint quality appears to be good. All in all, as good as I expected them to be (they're not BBS or AMG quality, but they're not priced like'em either).

Since winter isn't officially here yet, I just waxed'em, and set them aside for when the white stuff falls. . .

Right now, the most popular rim by them is the Evo 5. In fact, there are several manufacturers that are using them on cars (e.g. Pontiac's Bonneville GXP).

In the Maxima World, the Evo is the most common rim but it's still stylish and it seems to hold up well.

I have these on my BMW 318ti, 16" size



I bought these not as an upgrade but to replace my wheels as all 4 where bent. Cheaper to buy these than fix my old wheels. If I remeber the only downside that I can remember is that they were a couple of pounds heavier than my original wheels.

mille miglia are a company with a good reputation, as others have stated its not BBS or the likes but for what you pay for it is a good choice. the only thing that drove me to choose a different brand was that they are quite fond of using a wide wheel size over here and given that i have a tiny car, it wouldnt have been a wise choice.

I like MM wheels. Even though this isn't my MDX and I never custom my rims before, I fell in love with this one. 19" MM action

P.S: This picture was bigger but the autopia rule didn't let me attach it (720x540 before)
