just bought a '03 2003 325ci coupe....it has the sport package, with
17" wheels and low profile tires (225 45ZR17). I live in the Washington DC area and we usually get a nice dose of freezing rain and perhaps a snowfall or two during the winter. I'm thinking about keeping my stock OEM rims (5 spoke) and putting all season tires on them for the winter, so that leads me to hunt down another pair of wheels(currently cruising ebay for another pair). If I can't score a good pair of OEM wheels from ebay,what aftermarket brand would you suggest to mount my low profile performance tires on? I did the whole tirerack.com thing but I'm curious as to what brand name is good and which ones to avoid. Same thing with tires? any recommendations? Pirelli and Conti seem to be favorites from the archived posts...what about Kuhmo? I'm looking for long lasting tire life as opposed to top of the line track ready tires, in a low profile tire
thanks.
