winter tires/rims

Hey,

Just leased a 335xi sedan!!!

Just wondering what people usually get in terms of winter tires. I don't want to spend $$$ on expensive winter tires/rims. I've driven Michelin PA in the past with other more modest cars (Accords/Camry/Civics). Does anyone have any suggestions?

Will Michelin Pilot Alpine take away from the enjoyment of the car?

Or should i just fork up the money for the tires/rims from BMW?

Thanks.

I bought 17" replica wheels (style 162) with Toyo KX tires for my car. The wheels cost me about 600$ and they look pretty good imo.

Just get tires and mount them on your rims. Cheapest way to go.

Just wanted to add:

Swapping your wheels and tires too often is not a good idea, but since you are leasing, just get 4 winter tires...
