Winter tire and wheel

I am looking for an extra winter tire and wheel set for 2-3 months of use in winter for a 2013 335xi msport with 19" wheels. Curious if a steel or spare looking wheel could be an option in 16" or 17" with a winter tire? Saw a similar type setup on an e90 msport and it looked northeast winter right.
Any resources or recs would be great!
Thank you,

way undersized for the F30. 17s look odd and you'll likely have brake clearance issues if you have a 335. Stick to an 18.

Also recommend 18" wheels. Used BMW 400M Style wheels are a very good choice.

No issues with OEM 17" wheels on F30 if the brakes is the stock ones.

With M Sport or M Performance brakes 18" wheels are needed though.

Have 17" Michelin winter tires on cheap rims from tirerack.com on my 335. Package cost 1100 USD. No issues.

Thank you for all the feedback - the msport brakes are pushing me to the 18" direction.

If your car has the M-Sport brakes, you would have to stick with 18" or larger.
This link will take you to the options we have a available:
http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/resul...ge=false?a=BS5

You can filter by diameter on the left side. All the wheels we list here will fit your car and clear the brakes.
If you have any questions, feel free to email me directly.
