Bigger alloys on my Pre LCI 2014?

I think the alloys and the rubber on my BMW don’t look the best, and would make the car stand out a lot more with slightly bigger alloys and smaller better rubber? I don’t really know much about this stuff so wondering what combo size alloys and rubber would suit a black BMW 1 series f20 2014 pre LCI, I have attached a picture of the current alloys/tyres I have now.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Nice! What alloys are those? And I’m assuming my alloys are 16” or is that the rubber? Is your car the same as mine? 2014 Pre LCI?

My 2014 116i has 225/45/17 wheels.
Yours do look like 16s - look size stamped on the tyre wall.

The original wheels were in a bad state so I replaced them with type 256 5 spoke in grey (car is red).

256 wheels have 5 big spoke s so are very easy to clean (too old to spend hours cleaning multispoke wheels!)

What was the size alloys you had before hand? How much was the total for you to change the rubber and alloys for all wheels? And do you feel a difference now having 18s?
