I have a 325ci coupe (E90) & my current summer wheels are 19inch with following profile:
Rear (Back): 255/30 R19 (91Y)
Front: 225/35 R19 (88Y)
I am looking for advice what to replace these with in the winter... Obviously they need to work nicely but they have to look just as good, or at least close

I am looking for advice from people living in Scandinavia e.g. what can I get away with in dimensions? And then I will look... Right now I have following: Rear (Back): 255/30 R19 (91Y) front: 225/35 R19 (88Y) BUT I understand I can't get winter tires in Finnish standards for these?
OR CAN I?
If not, then looking for the best option... So advice is welcome ?

You can use winter tires in Nordic standards for example in size 235/35-19", in your nice coupe. At least Nokian has that size, in Hakkapeliitta 7 and Hakkapeliitta R.

If you want original new BMW rims, you've got two options: the nearest BMW dealer or http://www.ebay.de/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Sometimes if your lucky there might be something available also here: Myydään renkaat ja vanteet.

I guess that 18" will be better choice in winter...
Wheels with 5-6 spokes are better than wheels with lot of spokes.
And narrower wheels/tires offers better traction.

Yep - Is there a place to pick up second hand 18" BMW rims or just go for something with the 5 spoke look like current? Don't want to blow too much on them as I already have some winter wheels but they are super basic...
I could just go to Vianor or Euromaster etc.. and ask what they can do for me?

Vianor has good web sides to search models and prices.
One place to order decent priced complete packages is Nordenrengas in Sweden. One good value for money studded tyre is Kumho KW22. As silent as studded tyre can be and provides good overall quality.

Count around 100 euros to delivery and assembly. Be aware that you cannot trust on delivery dates they tell on front page. Quite often they order the products after your order. In case you end up ordering here you better make it fast to make sure you have the wheels before real winter starts.
Notice also that polished wheels are sensitive to salt. You survive if you wax them properly before the season (recommended in any case) but the polished surfice is spoiled easily if not cleaned regurlarly.

Vianor or euromaster are both ok places to check what they have to offer..
Have you thougt the idea wether the tyre should be with spikes or just friction tire? Both have their good and bad sides..
With spikes you have best possible traction when the conditions are most slippery. Along with spikes there comes a bit louder tyre noise.. Friction tyre is more silent, but on icy conditions they suck..
Friction tyre loses ist best grip sooner as they wear out..
