Since the Breyton Race GTP-wheels has ET's that don't suite the F10 at all,
the 19" wheel choice is between BMW OEM Style (6) 281 or (7) 331.

I would definitely choose 331, but 281 is not bad at all either.

I would take the 281 sine the spokes on the 331 look a little too massive for my tastes, not as sporty

I would go with the 356 but if you don't like it then go with the 281. The 356 looks more sporty than all of them.

Hello Ric,

I have seen the 281 in Munich - You should find a picture taken in different angle. I thought it was good until I saw it.

I picked 331 myself. Saw it in person and looks great. I've not seen 281 in the metal.

Ric,

do as I always use to do when configurating a new BMW : go to http://www.mobile.de and look at the pictures of real cars. You can find practically every possible color, upholstery trim , wheel combination there. And as they are real fotos, you can get quite a lot better visual reality than in configurator pictures. Of course, you mostly only find OEM wheels there...

Thought so too, and nearly wanted to order it until I saw this Swedish video test of an F10 featuring the style 281 wheel (not sure if its 18" or 19" though):

That is NOT from Sweden.
It is a test from Slovakia.
