Ditto!!! Lokks great!!!

I went with Hankook Ventus V12s, but I think any conventional tire will be much more to your liking when the time comes.

I have a small compressor and tire repair kit in my trunk. But I think next year I'l get the Canadian version of AAA. How many times would you really repair a flat tire on the side of the road? I think most folks would call for assistance.

By the way, my car has 18 inch Style 108 rims, in case you were wondering how that size wheel looks on the car - lots of pics in my album. There are lots of nice wheels available like the Apex ARC 8 which I think is a so-called "CSL" reproduction. The OEM BMW 18 inch ellisoid wheel (style 107) is one of my faves too. Its a solid casting too, unlike my 108s which are two piece bolted wheels. So, less corrosion / cleaning issues on a one piece rim.
