For winter, you'd need to replace the tires on them.  Why not just get steelies?  These aren't that good looking.  Perhaps a $400 offer?

Hard to get steel rims for 16" +, way too heavy in that size IMO.

$600 for the rims alone isn't that great, that depends on the type of rims tho, if they are relatively light, that would be great. You can get brand new rims (16") at about $180 a piece (relatively heavy, not sure it fits E36/E46s). Anything fits German cars are not too cheap when compare to JPN/NA cars.

If those rims are $500 include shipping, that would a good deal.

WIth the driving my wife will do , all season will be OK. Cobourg does not usually get too much snow
If this heat wave stays I will be able to leave the summer tires on all year.

What kind of tires do you have on the car now?  Dedicated summers or all seasons?

Great deal.  Guy has 157 posts since early in 2005 so the rims are probably not hot.

TAX FREE!

I think they might look real good on your black Bimmer so it could haunt you come winter.

I think just the rims for $500 would be good.
If we GET any snow this winter we will just drive the 4x4 pick up.

No, I meant that they might look better than the wheels you have now and you will want to save those from winter salt as well.  You will have yourself a winter dilemma.
