ok, ive narrowed down to two choices, and im really having a hard time deciding winter tires are 245’s these are primarily winter wheels, but id like to mount track tires to them when my budget allows, the widest R comp i can get in 19" is 265, but thats 1400 for the set for pilot cups so who knows when that will happen so here are the choices staggered matte black CSL wheels in with 19X9.5 rears and 9 fronts ![http://www.europeanautosource.com/slideshow/vm/vb3/mb/bmm303.jpg](http://www.europeanautosource.com/slideshow/vm/vb3/mb/bmm303.jpg) ![http://www.europeanautosource.com/slideshow/vm/vb3/mb/bmm301.jpg](http://www.europeanautosource.com/slideshow/vm/vb3/mb/bmm301.jpg) ![http://www.europeanautosource.com/slideshow/vm/vb3/mb/bmm302.jpg](http://www.europeanautosource.com/slideshow/vm/vb3/mb/bmm302.jpg) BBS LM replicas in 19x8.5 all around… these are teh reps not real LM’s ![http://photos.e46fanatics.com/data/500/BB5_042.jpg](http://photos.e46fanatics.com/data/500/BB5_042.jpg) ![http://photos.e46fanatics.com/data/500/BB5_045.jpg](http://photos.e46fanatics.com/data/500/BB5_045.jpg) ---
