What would be the most cost effective setup. Car is a 420d msport with standard brakes.

Do you prefer OEM visual appearance? If yes - BMW 18" 400M Style wheels can work very well, especially if you plan to install M Performance brakes in the future. 18" wheels and tires represent a reasonable compromise between tire sidewall height and performance. Tires? So many choices. During the winter, run flat tires add extra measure of convenience as changing the tire in slushy conditions may not be entirely desirable.

Cost effective? Can't beat going to 17s. And i dont think they look that bad after adding some spacers to flush the wheel. And it's only 3-4 months/year. IMHO
