Snow Setup on M40i

Hello,

Has anyone in North America contemplated using non-BMW rims for their snow tires setup ? I just checked the BMW website and they want 3500 for 20 inch rims and snow tires (pirelli scorpion)—the only setup they have listed.

Tire rack's configurator shows packages with blizzaks and Generic 18 inch rims for about 1500 dollars. Not sure the better looks are worth the 2000 extra dollars.

I had an 2012 x3 35i with 19 inch all seasons and it's traction was crap in snow so when i bought the new m40i I got it with summer tires knowing I would put snow tires and rims on.

Any suggestions would be appreciated as I will be driving in snowy mountain conditions this winter
