I don't love the idea of changing tires with the seasons ... it seems like it would ruin the tires to continually take em on and off the wheels ... so I am either leaning to dedicated snow wheels / tires or something to fit the 20's that's good all around (but I kinda doubt those really exist).
I feel your pain.

I did the snow tire dance with my previous 4.4.. This is no 4.4 and LeMan's is right about the RFlats.. I've nearly spun my Z06 a couple of time during late season jaunts in the cool weather

I guess maybe one way to dodge the absurd BMW wheel pricing is to buy aftermarket and put the snows on those. I just haven't seen any available
