How about a set of CSLs? They are fairly affordable and available in 18s that would work well for winter.

You can buy a smoked wheel. They are cheaper also.

you looking for wheel/tire package? If so, dedicated snow tires?

if your craigslisting your wheels then there are two simple things you need to look out for (besides tire sizing). You have an m3, so your front are high offset and the rears are low offset. This means you can use any 3 series fitment wheel that is at least 17" and either M3 rears or 5 series rears could even work.

rear offsets need to be between 20-25mm fronts between 35-45mm
