I got my X6M used in April and the tires were pretty badly worn. I purchased a set of aftermarket wheels for summer hoping to use the stock rims for a winter set up. My tire guy, who I trust pretty well, says they are too wide for decent winter driving and I will be sliding all over. So the search begins for a decent winter set up. The tire guy suggests 18" or 19" rims with bigger sidewalls, although I would prefer at least the 19" option for looks. A quick look says that the BMW suggestion is the 19" 298M wheel they offer with a 255 tire. Does anyone run this set up? What other set up is anyone else running that combines practical use for winter driving and a good look on the X6M? I know it's early and I have time, but I would rather make sure I get what I want/need early and have it ready to go.
