My Ride: 2004 545i TITANIUM GREY II on Black Dakota Lthr, Comfort Seats, Sports PKG, Premium PKG, Active/Dynamic Drive, NAV, Winter Package.
+1
I don't like any of the wheels that BMW is offering for the F10 19s or 20s, they look pretty lame. This is a big car and it needs kind of a beefy wheels like the M166 or even beefier than that! Take a look at this Render with the M166 which I'm sure you guys have seen before, it looks like a monster. I love it! I'm sure BMW will design a pretty aggressive wheels for the M5 F10 which then we can install on the 535i or 550i.
My two cents!

If you were to look at 2:14 of the video, the wheel on the car is quite clearly the 10-spoke Style 281 (image number 6 below):
The Style 236 17" wheels look very different (see image number 5 below):
Hope that helps.

Hi bimmernic',
No way the wheels on "at 2:14 of the video" is a 18" one.
Just look at the tire, that's a 17" 225/55 one.
A 40 profile tire don't look like that at all.
Here you have a pic of a brand new E60 with 50 profile
tires and 17" Style 244 OEM wheels:

Hi Ric,
in the F10, the 18 inch tyre is 245/45/18 - not 40 as in E60...

The 18" looks okay, I would say similar to 17" on the E60.
Same ratio goes for the 19" 331's.
The 17" looks like crap...well just as bad as the 16" on E60

My E60 has improved a bit since delivery.
