Ordered new wheels and tires for my 2010 E91. It had the OEM 16" wheels on it when I bought it. I replaced those with 18" with run-flat tires. Unfortunately, the combination of 18" with run-flats has resulted in quite a few pothole explosions. One really hard hit bent one of the rims a little, although it seems to run true and holds air, but I decided that since this is my daily driver/dog hauler I need a less slam-bang ride. So I decided to go with 17" wheels with regular (non-run-flat) tires.
I looked at Apex ARC-8s but ultimately went BMW OEM refurbished Style 66s from the early 2000s 540. Those were staggered on the 540 - 17x8 front and 17x9 rear - but I want a square set so I ordered four 17x8s. Also have ordered some Michelin PS A/S 3s+ (225/45ZR17) and some hubrings to make it all fit.
Not a terribly exciting tire/wheel setup but I am hoping it will be a good compromise of ride/handling/aesthetics.
