Looking for opinions on other wheel options.

My car came with the 552M wheels. Not sure if I really like the look. I generally like 5 spoke wheels like Vossen CV3. I like being able to see more of the calipers and rotors. Looking at other options. I would prefer to keep the wheels BMW M wheels and 19" although I could always go aftermarket.

Closest I found so far to what I am looking for are 437M, 792M, and 313 wheels.

Any thoughts?

Went to 3 different wheel shops to get some prices and opinions. Not a ton of options out there. Anything over 20" would require modifications to the car. I would never want bigger than that but just letting anyone know who is thinking of throwing a 22" wheel on here, lol. If you have the big brakes that will also limit you on some wheels. I would prefer to stay with 19" wheels. But one of the wheels I really like only comes in 20", so I will continue to search before making any choices. Both wheels shown here come in different color options and sizes. The black wheel only comes in 20" and up but also comes in silver. The silver wheel does come in 19" and black I believe.

I've been researching this too the past several months and finding very few aftermarket options so far. tire rack has a few options to might want to check out. seems the wheel fitment on these cars is really limiting.

Yeah I really like the 437M wheels. I would prefer to go OEM and not replica. I have been able to find these in replica 19x8.5 35mm offset. Which is not that bad, they would only stick out about a inch from the car. A guy had them on his M2 on here and you couldn't really tell. I believe the OEM version is 19x9, but the offset is worse so it would stick out even farther from the car. I might just pull the trigger on the replicas.

yeah I've always liked that style of wheel too. however I'm worried you might have some serious rubbing issues with that offset and that they would stick out that much.

They should be fine with a lower profile tire. They have one on hand so I am going to see if they can test fit and I can check.

Today I continued my journey on finding wheels, lol. This wheel is one option of a few I have found. Problem is the offset makes it stick out about a inch. I love these wheels but only option is a different wheel or shave these down 5mm which will reduce the poke out by .20". I think I could live with that. Advantages are can use same tires, OEM stems, valve caps, and probably center cap. Please let me know your honest opinion.

I think it looks good! appears to have some nice concavity to it too, which I really like and is hard to find in a 2 series wheel due to the offset.

Yeah I haven't been able to decide yet. These BMW replica wheels are easier being able to swap everything over and cheaper but looks wise I still don't know how I feel about the wheels sticking out almost a inch from the sides of the car. I am thinking about the first wheels posted, they are 20" so I would need new tires and costs would run about a thousand more. However, looks wise they are more flush with the car having a higher offset and they still have the concave look.
