My Ride: 2004 545i sport, 46k, titanium grey with dakota grey interior, auto stick, all options except HUD
Ok so I sold my winter beater and Im planning on driving the 545 in reasonably incliment weather this winter, (still got my 2006 pathfinder that chica drives). That being said Ive got two options for winter wheel packages and want some feedback if you got a got a minute. Got a friend who can get me factory staggered M parallels with snow tires. They came off a 2006 M5 I was told with 8k milage on the wheels, price $1200, I offered $900. Second was on graigslist. The dude was selling a set of "very, very good 166 replica wheels" with tires for $800. No idea about tires but figured would buy new snows. I know what youve all said about replica wheels and I've heard it loud and clear. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Im not thrilled about doing this to my car but it does have cold weather package and my 4 month is safer in the back rather than in a 1999 honda accord that I could buy for $1200. What to do, what to do,,,,have a good weekend folks and drive happy

What style are the M parallels that came off the M5? What size are the rims? What size are the winter tires? And what brand and model of winter tires are they?
