Winter shoes are on!
Not exciting but figured I would post it anyways.
Ordered Rial Salerno wheels for winter, 18" x 8", and installed Pirelli Sottozero 245-45-18 non run flats. Looks pretty good for a winter set up. I was contemplating getting the graphite but glad I didn't. I saw an F10 with them today and wasn't so crazy about them.

Very nice! I almost got the same setup but I went with the OEM route.

Here are the graphite Rial Salerno with Blizzaks on my sophisto grey. I went as low as 17" because of our "nice" roads here in Montreal.

Mine isn't the best option but i don't plan on driving my car in much snow this year so this should suffice. Blizzak LM60 on stock Msport (square setup) 351 wheels on my Xi

It's crazy how small 17" and 18" wheels look on the F10.
Alan, you've got 245 or 255 winters?

245 all around figuring the narrower the better. I was close to getting the new Michelin PA4's but reviews put the LM60's as having better snow traction
Even my 19"s look tiny on the F10.

I put non RFT Nokian WR A3 on my OEM 18" 328 wheels. Best winter tires according German Auto Bild's 2012 test. And they are, indeed!
I have got a set of 19" 331 wheels waiting for new summer non RFT tires (probably Hankook S1 Evo).

nope - they are 255/35/20 front and rear..
245/35 would not have worked on the rear because the 245/35 tires have a maximum load weight index of 95 - you need something like 97 for the 1410 kg you need on the rear axis..
