17 inch M6 Replica Wheels for winter?

Sorry for the double post, but the wheels and tires section doesn't really get enough traffic to get opinions out of people.


I found 17 inch m6 replica wheels from what is said to be a reputable seller on one of the other bmw forums. I was planning on running them as my winter wheels on my e92 335.

Now my question is would m6 reps in 17 inches look too small and dinky on my car? I've searched left right center, but can't find any pics so if anyone has any please post them up.

I've never seen those in 17" but it sure sounds interesting. I run 19's in the summer and cheap 17" Rials in winter. I've seen them in 18" and they look odd to me so I'm guessing the 17's would look even odder. That may be because I'm just used to the 19's and for winter, probably not a big deal anyhow. Post up some pics when you find em...

i had 19" summer and 17" winter on an e60 and it looked fine. there is no point in big rims for winter, you want something with a bit of sidewall to sink in to the snow.

I have 17" sport edition on my e92 335i sport honestly they don't look tiny at all.. ofcourse the stock 18's look better but i wanted 17's and narrow with blizzaks for the winter. Ride is much smoother too.
