What is the offset for the stock 16" OEM wheels? I imagine any aftermarket 16" rims would need to have the same offset to clear the calipers..

I think the 330i has brakes of similar size. I am not sure if you can use 16" rims on that car.

I just returned from Europe and the cars there are in much better shape than cars here due to the mild winters. I would say if you can afford it and plan to keep the car for many years don't drive it during the winter or at least keep it inside and only drive it in a clear day.

If you're leasing or planning to keep it for 3-4 years only you can drive it year around and park it outside.
