    Photo request...for a good cause (at least to me!)

    I am going to buy some wheels for winter tires. And, you guessed it...I have no idea what will look good on the car. I have a chance to get some Mille Miglias (not sure they are my taste) as well as some M5 E39 wheels (that look sort of like M-pars). I could use some better/other suggestions.

    What are you running and post a photo if you don't mind.

    Much thanks in advance.

    my advice: don't get fancy with winter wheels, a nice set of 16's will work wonders for you.

    something like this...

    Now THAT is the kind of thing I was hoping someone would post. You just cut right to the issue at hand. No chase. Thank you AR424.

    lol, that's trial and error....I made the mistake of getting fancy 18" winter wheels. after hitting a snow covered pothole, I cracked them. Then I went and got a nice set of used oem 16's with a nice thick sidewall, now she rides smooth like butter all winter. Snow tires are a bit more noisy fyi.

    Case closed. I bought these wheels. They were better in person. Came off a 2001 740i.

    Good deal! Those are one of two sets of 16" wheels I'd ever put on my car.

    12/01 E39 M5: TiAg/full black leather, Supersprint mufflers + x-pipe, SSK
    04/95 E38 750iL: Jet Black/black, M Parallels, Shadowline, x-pipe and muffler delete
