Which wheels?

Regardless of car model, which wheels do you prefer?!

From the looks - "The bottom one!".

But basically - OEM. And no ferric grey, most definitely.

I would say the top one, since the bottom one is too dark for my taste.

They're both Ferric grey, I think the bottom picture is just in shadow
But that's not saying the bottom ones aren't a darker shade of Ferric!?

I like both designs,
The bottom wheel is a more simplistic twin spoke design so it would easier to keep clean

I have seen a M135i getting around here with its wheels (top pic) having the insides of the 5 double spokes and the inner rim painted in what looks like mineral grey. Those wheels looked awesome.

+1 461m in FG.
Std fit 436m have a radial groove behind the spokes which is a real PITA to get and keep clean.
AusF20 - I have seen a similar duo tone paint job on 436m ie barrels remain FG and spokes are dark/grey anthracite - did look good mainly because it hides the fussy spoke design.

Anyone want to swap their FG 461M's for my FG 436m [SW London] then PM me.

My order will be coming with FG 461's, however the dealership have a set of 463s which I will find out today if they'll do a swap with me! If the will I don't know which to take :

I wanted non-runflats, and the 463s will already have them so that's a bonus. But as mentioned by you guys the 461s will be easier to maintain and still look good!

There was a set of 135i wheels on eBay last week and I was soon tempted but I really like the Msport ones on mine.

I saw sense and decided not to pursue the change in wheels. I have asked my dealer about arranging some non runflats for me though!
