How do I know if a replica, or any other wheel is the right size - offset for example?

Thanks

Or, buy my set of 17" BMW OEM wheels; they have Michelin Alpin dedicated snow tires mounted.
Tread is good for at least one more "season", maybe two. The Micheies are dedicated snows with
the snowflake, but not so agressive that they are easily chewed up on the pavement...

I realize this is a blatant pump to move my set of wheels&tars, but I've about given up. If I don't
sell them before mid-Nov., they are getting tossed down the fookin mountain.

$400 firm. Shipping, which is a real PIA, is extra.

Or, I might be back in NJ before the snow flies and I could deliver.

I have the same set up with stock Michelin Tires and this will be my first winter with the X3 in New Jersey so I'm going to give it a try with them before I invest in snow tires and rims.We get snow but realy not that much compared to some of you guys..
