Rims....what ones....

So i recently put on my winter rims and tires, style 58.....18"(255/55/18)....wow, i must say the comfort level compared to the 20"(315/35 rears and 275/40 fronts).....night and day...
So now i'm considering using an 18" maybe 19" wheel set up for the summer. What i'd like to know, what other OEM bmw wheels would work, say some 5 series or some 7 series ones? Any suggestions would be great!!
like style 123 from 5 series,
like style 95 from 7 series...
maybe style 89 from 7 series....

i know the offsets on those are really low.....suggestions?
just wondering what my options can be....

I know exactly what you're talking about - the ride difference between my 18" and 20" wheels is pretty huge, and I'm pretty sure even the 4.6is or 4.8is doesn't ride this stiff.

Anyways the OEM 4.4i 19" sport package wheels are pretty nice looking, and since they have no lip they appear pretty large. Of course nothing will compare to the look of the 20" wheels, but they are close.

So I might have found some 19" rims. From a 2008 x3 style 150. The sizes are 19x8.5 front with 46 offset and the rears are 19x9.5 with 51mm offset. I believe the hub is the same? 72.56? If anyone can chime in that would be great!! What tire sizes should I run? Would I go with 255/50/19 fronts and 275/45/19 rears?

The 150's look like a smaller version of the x5m wheels, look pretty good.
