I am about to purchase a set of used MSW wheels & snow tires. The seller has given me a picture and several numbers off the back of the rim. I am 95% sure they will fit my Z4 but want to make sure. The model number off of the back is 19142001. Comparing the picture to the Tire Rack website, they look like Style 15 which would fit my car. I have searched the net to find a reference guide to put the two numbers together and cannot find one. Can anyone help me verify?
One other question as to fitment. I currently have the staggered 18's for my summer tires. From what I have read in the owner's manual, I can run 225/45/17 squared setup as well. Has anyone made this move for their winter setup?
Thanks in advance,
Jerry

I'm very new to the art of spinning, and I am thinking about buying a spinning wheel. There are a few saxony style wheels that interest me, and they offer an optional spindle and distaff accessory.Trucks (http://trucks.reviewitonline.net/)

I have them as winter setup on my e90. Not sure about fitment on your car, but usually if tirerack days they fit, then most probably they will as they have some advanced CAD tools to study fitment.
For pics, search my posts or I can update this when I get a chance. Pics may be in my imageshack profile too (link in sig).

If they are coming off the 3 Series they will fit your car.

Thanks for all of the info. I made the deal. Will pick them up Saturday. They are MSW style 15 with Continental contiwintercontact TS810's on them. They have just one winter of use. All for $300. I think I got a pretty good deal. We agreed to stop by a local dealer for a professional inspection and to make sure of fitment.

That's an excellent deal. I liked those tires in dry and wet/snow, although I though the tread wear was a bit too low for my liking, but that could be the fault of my lead right foot and winter fun in the snow.
