What is the ideal wheel / tire size for a 2002 daily driver?

Thanks for the feedback, guys. Your opinions are much appreciated. Looks like 185/60/14s are most popular, with 195/50/15 next. I'll keep an eye out for a nice set of 14" alloy bottlecaps. I'm not sure what I'll do with the Panasport FS15E racing wheels. They'd be great for someone who uses them for what they were intended. Or I might paint and polish em, and keep 'em as spares mounted with summer driving, and mount E30 bottlecaps with Blizzaks during winter.

Sounds like bottlecaps with all-seasons would make sense (Though I don't take my car out if it's wet or snow on the street). A few FAQ'ers said they'd be interested in the Panasports if I decide to sell them. If anyone is looking for a set of Panasports, I found these for sale at NASA forums @ $850/4:

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
