So, my time-waster for today's lunch break runs from my perusing BMW wheels for sale on the local Craigs List, and comparing to bmwstylewheels dot com. Am I correct that E53s with 19" wheels are either BMW style 132 or 152, and all come staggered [9" w in front, 10" in back?]. Given the frequent appearance of BMW wheels/tires on ATL Craigs List, and my "Rush" influenced consideration of the Road Atlanta BMWCCA driving course next September, I'm considering a set of 19s to mount high performance summer tires for the summer. Are these my only options that directly 'fit' the E53? [I want OEM, used and relatively cheap, no aftermarkets, please]. Any suggestions? What high-performance summer tires, size/brand/reasonably priced, do you suggest? I had good luck with Yokos on my old E36.

Mine has the sport package, and 'sports' 18x8.5" Style 131s, mounting 255/55-18 Conti DWS all-season tires, which I am very happy with.
