Someone mentioned the positive reviews about the 328i sport line that has been reviewed by pretty much every major publication.

The reviews I've read in car mags about the 328i sport line always seem to show the same red 328i sport as the testet model. But the wheels don't look like the standard black painted set that's on BMW's website. They are all silver painted, which look like the optional 19's that are ONLY available for the 335i, and those are staggered with 255's in the rear.

So, these reviews we've read on the 328i sport could be using wider rubber than what we in the US will actually get.
I'd like to read a clarification on this. Does the test car or cars being run around to car mags have a square 225 setup or a staggered 225/255 setup?
If it's square 225, then why are they the wrong wheels?
The test 328i cars could be a bit of a "ringer" with better rubber than we'll get.
That would really tick me off if it's true, cause I want the real review on the actual tires we in the US will get.
