My old winter wheels were ASA and looked exactly like the one you posted. That's why I assumed they were 17 since I think the ASA only comes in 17 or smaller...

I don't know much about offsets...if those are 18" wheels, then they'll likely fit. The brakes on the F10 are much larger than the ones on the E60 so that's probably the main reason why not very many 17" rims fit.

I just got DunlopSP Winter Sport M3 245/40R19 98V, put on the original rims that came with my 535XI. I also bought the Beyern Mesh silver with polished lip and put the RFT that came with the car. I really like the rims . I also got the jack kit, 12V air compressor and a flat tire repair kit. If I go on long trips I will strap one of the other wheels in the trunk for a spare.
This is what I went with and love it.
Here is a picture of the wheel from Beyern Mesh site.

Winter setup installed yesterday afternoon...looks pretty good for a winter setup. ![Cool](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/cool.gif)
Been doing my winter wheel changeovers myself for a zillion years now but, like a dummy, I forgot that the F10 doesn't come with a jack!
I had everything all set to go and as soon as I opened the trunk, it hit me that I had no way of lifting the car...
For years, I'd been telling myself I ought to get a hydraulic floor jack but never actually needed one badly enough. Yesterday was the day I finally needed one badly enough!
Now I just need to get one of those BMW floor jack adapters to make it easier to use...yesterday I ended up putting a block of wood between the jack and the car's jacking point to prevent the jack from damaging things.

Rudy, could you post few pictures? I'm curious to see how the GTS look on the F10!
