Help for winter tires

Hello guys, i was thinking to order winter tires set, but still dont know which wheels and tires to choose.

Car is full M Sport and Full Individual. Now running 20" 491 BLACK Wheel Set, and really like the black wheels for that painting, but saddenly there is no black wheels on 19" tires.

Can you advise me please what kind of tires and what kind of wheels to choose.

Prefer runflat for winter too as there is many wholes and bumps on the roads over here

I went with the 18inch set of winter tire with replica rims, did that in my E93 with no issues. I get them from this very reputable place in Toronto so I trust their quality of rims. Last set of rim I had lasted 7 years of winter and no issues at all before I sold them. These tires are not low profile so they don't look too small. Tire is Bridgestone Blizzakk, so far so good. Not sure if I like the traction, I used to have the Continental ExtremeWinterContact and I loved it.

19 rim and tire is on another level in terms of pricing, just not worth it for couple months of beating in the salt.

I have the same MSport Rim as you have for the summer.

Never had any issues with non-run flat winter tires, worst case call road side assistance.

I got a set of replica that look the same like the above poster in mississauga. Driven 1 winter and still holding up pretty good. Mine are 20" squared setup.

Here is my setup... 20" staggered replica 468M gloss black wrapped with Pirelli Scorpion Ice and Snow RFT. Very happy with these Pirelli's.

But i want to avoid driving the 35mm tires at winter. 45 a bit better.
The first tires are from e70.. i dont like them at all.


Maybe is a good idea to get 19" M-Sport style 467M and paint them in black?

I have just had my 467Ms with winters painted in Glass Black.
When they go on in a few weeks time I will post you photos.
