I am new here. I have a 2017 F16 with M package. I want to install winter tires.
Only change tires or buy a new set of wheels? Thanks for you suggestion?

Depends what you want to spend and how much snow you get. If cost doesn't matter than just get new wheels. If it does and you get a lot of snow then just swap tires every season. Usually only need new rims if your wheel size and winter tire combo don't exist or you don't get snow often and just when a storm rolls through you can change quickly. Among other reasons I'm sure too.

I've had these BMW set of tyres and wheels for almost 3 years - very good and quiet.

Your black X6 is so
Same as you, I have ordered Pirelli winter RF tires. Now I am looking for 20" wheels. How about the OEM wheels? The OEMs costs more than cad$250/per here and much cheaper than orginal ones.

I just went of for the whole BMW OEM package - piece of mind in a 150mph car! Living just by Germany it is very easy to get to these speeds and so even driving a little slower in the winter a safe package that can cope with these speeds is very important. Also any warranty or insurance issues should not be an issue with BMW OEM.
