Miro apparently stopped making their M6 replica 18" wheels with a 20 offset.
Modbargains and Umnitza are selling some 18" M6 replica wheels, but I'm hesitant. Anybody have any experience with non-Miro M6 replica wheels?
I need a winter setup and there seems to be very few 19" winter tires. Tirerack didn't have any 245/35/19 and only a couple of 245/40/19.
Anyone know if 245/40/19 tires would fit on a 535?

I have the Blizzak LM-25's on my stock M5 19" wheels for winter. Have you considered Velocity instead of Miro? No hub rings needed with Velocity, which is a plus.

If you're getting a winter setup, I'm assuming it snows around your area - in which case, you should look for a set of rims that will not encourage snow to pack on between the spokes, prompting wobbles and knocks in your steering. For 19s, 166s are IMHO perfect for that.
