which wheels do you like better for snow, option 1 or 2?

i need to get 18" wheels/tires for the snow.

which wheels do people like better out of these two options from tire rack:

EDITED: I had the pictures flipped, but now corrected, sorry.

OZ Canyon:

or

OZ Sardenga

I'm leaning towards Sardenga... but wanted to make sure it didn't have a "bling" type of look, which i normally don't like. I just thought these looked cool.

thoughts?

i'd go with the Sardenga myself...there's something about the other ones that i just don't like....they look like old bonneville wheels...my 2 cents.

Don't forget the OEM winter tire setup. I ended up paying $700/corner, $2,800 total for this setup. A bit more but OEM quality, OEM sensors, roundels, etc.

Just worth consideration, IMO.

For where you live Sardenga will be easier to maintain. Canyon will have snow and slush in those spokes.

Quite a few E53 owners have used OEM replicas for winter setup without any problems. Not sure how many E70 replica wheels are out there.

Ugh, I guess if forced I would select wheel 2 as the option. Both are IMO. But it isn't my ride, if it were I'd looks for BMW OEM 17's or 18's and put snows on them.
