I lean towards 18inch winter rims & tires for my M235i. The reason is because smaller wheels look bad on newer car designs conforming to pedestrian safety regulations (i.e. tall side profile). Besides: nowadays 18inchers aren't that much more expensive than a smaller size. The tread width is the same in both cases: 225mm, the only real downside of 18inchers in winter application is less cushioning (i.e. narrower sidewalls) but that should be taken care by M235i adaptive suspension in comfort mode.
