IP Coupe with these rims....please vote

Which do you prefer on an IP Coupe.
Winter setup on M3's 225/55/17's ALL AROUND
All the same price

3. http://www.megawheelz.com/advanti/54l.jpg
4. http://www.megawheelz.com/advanti/60l.jpg
5. http://www.megawheelz.com/advanti/58l.jpg

This one is really nice but it is more of a summer rim as salt can sit inthe buttons as well as require more maintenance

Thanks all for voting...

Just my opinion, but I would go with the lowest cost rim out of those. They're just going to get chewed up with salt and rocks anyway.

I have these as my winter rims:

They all are the same pricing....
The first one i am leaning to....
The first few will not be eaten away by the salt that bad....
that is why i like the first one most...simple and bright and will handle salt better than most....

The first style is OK, but I prefer the 601 (#4).

I vote for wheel #1. Simple and easy to clean. Not bad looking too.

IIRC he said 35 to 40
The guy at the tire shop said that these are the choice of wheelz I should be looking at based on the offsets for my car. Seeing that I don't know much about offsets etc, I am going to trust him. He said that these will fit my 06Coupe AUTO (non brembo).

This is what i posted earlier and no response:
https://g35driver.com/forums/g35-coupe-v35-2003-07/140127-info-offset-specs-please.html

I am picking up the tires tomorrow after I choose the rim early in the morning. Then i am taking it to the dealer to have them mounted. I really dont want to take the tires and rims balanced and ready to install only to take it to the dealer and then it won't fit. That is why I posted. Well no response so i am basing the tire shop guy's knowledge on this
Maybe u can be of some assistance?

****************
Thanks for the responses guys...so far i am really leaning towards #1 more and more....

Any more votes?

+35-40 will work, but isn't ideal, depending on the width, it will sink into the wheel well more than stock and look really ackward, but for winter its fine. I know because I use sedan wheels which are +45 offset for my winter rims.
