I am contemplating trading my 07 525i for a 2013 or 2014 528i with the M sport package. The car comes with either 18" or 19" rims. - I definitely do not want the 19" rims inasmuch as I have heard too many stories about tire and rim problems with the low profile tires. My question is does any one have any feedback on how likely it is that I would have problems with the 18" rims? - Keep in mind that the pothole situation here in the Northeast this year is dreadful. The tires on the 18" rims appear to have maybe an additional 1/2" higher profile vs. the 19" tires. I know if I buy the car new, I can buy wheel insurance, but...... I am very frugal and would rather not spend the $s if I don't need to. Moreover, if I buy a 2013 model, wheel insurance is not an option. Thx for any feedback here.
