My issue is I can't really decide if I'm happy with the rims. I do NOT want 4 wheel drive (more reasons than fit this thread), but I do live in the DC region so we have reasonably cold winters, and do get some snow. As such, I'd strongly prefer all season tires. My 2016 340i had a square setup (225s all around). This never made me happy. I really like the staggered look in the rear and I found the 340i to be severely traction limited in 1st gear. The M340i will be even worse I presume!

Herein lies the delimma: if you require a staggered setup with all seasons, 1PE with 790M rims is the only choice. Has anyone seen these rims live? How do they look?

I LOVE the look of the 792M rims (at least online), but if you require a staggered setup, the are summer only, arg!

Any suggestions for how to settle this mental quandary??

TIA!
I just put a deposit on a Portimao blue M340 with 792’s. Can’t wait to get it!
