Post F30 328i OEM 17" wheels need brake upgrade.

Hello people. I'm new to this forum and this is my first post so if I did do anything wrong, sorry in advance.

I've ordered a F30 328i in China (where I work) and the car should be ready to pick up on the 12th of October. However, the rims that comes with it is a 17" size. I don't know why they've set the wheel size to 17" but for me to get an upgrade to 18" is a hell lot in China (due to the import tax).

My plan was to have the OEM brakes upgraded, but there aren't no m-sport package option to choose in China. Even if it is available in China, the brake system in the m-sport package is only for 18" wheels.

So my question is that can anyone suggest any aftermarket brake system that fits 17" wheels and is compatible to F30 328i. Big brands would be good as it is easier for me to track them down in China.

Thanks in advance.

I don't know of any Brake kits that would clear 17" wheels, I would suggest trying to find some used 18" take-offs and going with the BMW Brake kit.

Ah, ok... I thought so too. Been doing alot of research on the website but I can't really find anything that fits for a 17" wheels.

Thanks for the info.
