It took a second for me to realize it was 34,000 miles, not 340,000 miles! That is awesome!

And not much right now, it say in my girlfriends grandmothers garage for about 17 years and wasn’t driven very often after she fell. So I need to have a few things taken care of that have just dried out. I also want to put some 17” Alpina rims on it, I think.

I hate you (kidding). Welcome to the club, nice to know that I'm not the only 'ti left in Colorado. It's been over a year since I last sighted one, on Colorado Blvd in Cherry Creek. Did you take a set of 15" steel wheels off of it? If so, and you want to get rid of them, let me know, I'm about 60 miles north of you.

Paul '96ti 240,000mi | Hey Paul- I’m right there with you; I’ve only seen one other one on Arapahoe. I took off the steel 15” rims and they have nice Michelin’s on them if you’re interested!

I'm basically looking for two steel wheels to mount some snow tires on. I've got two snow tires already mounted, I'll put those on the rear. I've got two more snow tires without rims, though. Keep us updated, and if you need help/info, just yell. | | | 12-06-2017, 03:11 AM | #10 | Junior Member Join Date: Jan 2017 Location: Denver Posts: 1 | Quote: Originally Posted by paul somlo I think those may be a bit out of my price range, Kaelan.

It has all weather tires and I put sand bags in the trunk but it is still not great in the snow. I was thinking of putting snow tires on either the back rims or all 4 rims. Any thoughts on that? If I wanted to get 2 or 4 new rims, are there special rims needed for the 318ti? The current size of my tires is 205/60R15. Appreciate any thoughts that you have.
