My Ride: 2008 535xi / Platinum Grey / Black leather / Step Auto / Sport / Premium / Cold weather / 18" wheels / Logic 7 / Comfort / ipod / Navigation / Fold Down Rear Seats / Rear Airbags / Sirius SAT / Spoiler / Extended Clear bra / Bluetooth. (Previously owned a 2002 sport 525I Loaded).
On order: 535xi Platnium Grey with Black interior, Step Auto, Sports package, Premium package, Cold weather package, 18" wheels, Logic 7, Comfort access, ipod adapt, Navigation, Sat radio, Rear spoiler, Extended Clear coat bra.
This is the wheel I chose and ordered. (O.Z. Superleggera III) I decided to go for broke and bought the tires also. (Bridgestone Potenza RE050a Pole Position) 
They come balanced and mounted at no cost which is better than me deciding to buy new set of tires, if I don't like the OEM runflats on the new wheels, and having to remount and rebalance again. The runflats are new and in storage, I guess I'll keep them until I decide what to do with them.
The front O.Z. wheels have a 1 1/2" lip with a 40mm offset and rear wheels have a 2" lip with a 45mm offset. These are 3 piece wheels with a forged center. They are Silver and 18" in size.
HERE IT GOES: I CAN'T WAIT.....
On that note some ass _ole tapped my rear bumper in Manhattan on saturday when the car was parked. I have a 1" long round dot indentation (a screw) with a gash.

Great rim choice

I don't mind I really like the wheel. The only regret I may have is that I did not go to 19's but I have my reasons. Rick...
