Best 19" wheels

[sumitagarwal]

Hi everyone, as of today I'm a proud new owner of a 2013 F10 M5.

I got it with the 345M 19" cast wheels, which I intend to outfit as my winter set.

For a summer set I want another set of 19" wheels, not 20", because NYC region roads are BANANAS and I frequently bend rims.

What do you guys recommend? Ideally I'd like a lightweight forged set, but the 345M is cast as well as, I believe, the 408M set. I'd like to avoid stepping up to the 343M 20" forged set.

What do you guys recommend? BMW OEM? BBS? Which ones specifically?

A slight factor in preference towards 19" is because my current summer tires are almost new and would be nice to keep them when I mount up winter's on the 345M's. However, this isn't critical and I really want to do the right thing long-term.

I like the OEM F80 M3/M4 437M wheels. The bicolor ones look like the 343M's but have a better color scheme. You might need some spacers for the rears though.

Check out the classifieds on the F80 M forums. They have a lot of choices for 19" OEM and aftermarket rims.

Thank you! I don't know why I didn't get an email notification on this even though I subscribed...
