I stumbled across the BMW Individual v-spoke 228I 19" rims whilst looking through the car configurator. They can only be ordered together with other Individual options, such as Merino Leather, however they are also the only 19" rims you can order from the factory/configurator without the m-sport pack. I have seen the 18" version on 5ers a few times where I live, but never come across the 19" version.
Here are pics from the BMW Individual catalogue, but the wheels on the 5er are the 18" version and I'm not sure about the 6er

Anyone running these or even seen them before??
What do you think -- they certainly are "individual", because I can't find real pictures of them anywhere?!

They look like Hubcaps you'd see on a Hyundai, and old-school one at that! :thumbsdown:

So I see these rims really aren't too popular hey! I don't understand why BMW has gone this route with these "exclusive" rims, especially as its the only Individual rim style you can get (just in different sizes depending on the model). You would have thought that they would have offered something a little more enticing, considering you have to take the expensive Merino Leather and/or Individual paint to get them. These really are pretty bland, espcially against a number of the other OEM rims on offer. On the plus side, it will stop me getting stupid ideas about ordering crazy priced Individual options!
