If I order an F 10 528i with those rather underwhelming 17-inch wheels (style 327), could I later use the 17" rims for snow tires? Then I could get some stunning aftermarket 19-inch wheels and A/S tires (I don't think I want performance tires) and let Winter and salt beat up on the 17" rims. I'll need snows here in Ontario anyway. Also, does anyone think that 19 inchers (style 331 like those beauties on the 550i) would be "poseur-ish" on a 528i? And would they be unsuited to the suspension etc. on the base car? A 528i is all I really need (and can afford at this point) but I don't want to ruin the ride or handling with unsuitable wheels/tires just for looks. 18's would be fine really, but the 19's look so sexy!! By the way, I know I can get 18's with the Sport Package quite inexpensively, but that includes the black high-gloss shadow line and I much prefer bright metal there...I reckon the C-pillar and Hoffmeister thingy look much cooler with brushed aluminum trim round them. Thanks.
