I am in the quest for another set of wheels right now. I do not really want aftermarket. I had aftermarket wheels on my M3 and they get hammered with the NJ roads.

I had really good luck with factory wheels. They are heavier, but they seem to handle pothole alot better.
Plus, i think I will stick with the 20's.

If I find a good set of BMW wheels with the correct offset, I will have them powdercoated in black and mount the Conti all seasons(if I can find them) and jusyt drive year round like that. I will probably just sell my factory wheels/sensors/tires.

That seems like the least amount of work. I really do not want two sets of wheels and tires. That is a pain. This is a daily driver. No need for extra work.
