Finally, after weeks of changing my opinion about which wheels to get like every 30 mins, I decided to go with 19" Breyton Race GTS Matte Gray. I have a black 2005 545i, non-sport.
I'm about to order them on tirerack. Any reasons why I shouldn't do that?

Rec. Tire Size:275/30-19

Gonna buy tires as well. Any recommendation? Tirerack recommends Front: 245/35ZR19 and Rear: 275/30ZR19. Is that correct sizes for my car?
My main choice is between General Exclaim UHP, which is a good value, as I understand. But it's a (Ultra High Performance Summer). In this case I'm keeping my stock wheels, and will be changing them in winter. But I dont really want to swap wheels like that. And i'm super lazy, so I might end up using summer tires all winter. So I gotta watch out for that.
So the other option would be Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus (Ultra High Performance All-Season).
I'm in NYC, so we have some snow here, and they salt the roads too. Do I NEED to store my new rims in winter time? With they get damaged in winter? I dont have to commute to work, so I dont drive that often.
Please advice and sorry for my ignorance and bad english, lol.

You don't want some forgestars? About the same price range but a lot lighter and stronger.

Congrats! The tire size is correct. Also, since the offset is high you will need some spacers. Post some pictures when you get them

I have the Potenza RE960AS Pole Position all season tires and they perform pretty well in light snow, rain and dry conditions.

Can anyone confirm this? Do I need to buy this spacers?
Tire shop across the street from me looks like they never heard about no spacers

Really? I thought they were on a cheap side of rims? Im sure yours cost at least just as much, no?
My rims were about 360$ each.
edit: How can this be true?! Here in Finland Breyton Race GTS Black (8,5 x 19) cost 1070$ EACH
