I drive about 12,000kms a year and most of my driving is in the city - downtown etc.
Thoughts? I am leaning towards the 20s just for the look rather then anything... I am pretty careful with my rims but I know the proper thing to do is get another "set" for the winter. I used the same rims for my Targa for 2 winters and not once scratch or ding on them.

Get the BMW OEM recommended winter wheel (model 408). I just received mine. They offer the best of both worlds - very similar look to the 343s in a 19" wheel with narrower rear so you can run a 4-square set-up on the tires. Tischer BMW has them for $2,150 for the set (before delivery cost).
