Now that's the class act. That 101 is about the only wheel I am considering from the BMW stable of wheels.

I'm looking at the 101's a bit differently. I think they're too "busy" and cluttered. I imagine they'd be high maintenance too with all the nooks and crannies, etc. Finally, I think the center hub cap looks cheap and plasticy.

Although it's more common, I really do like the 124's that came with the car...

I like the 124's, 125 m's, (staggered look) 128's and 152's (BMW individual). :winkcool:

Although i really want the 166 m's (they won't fit right?) from the new M5!

For me there are others things to conside then maintenance. I like cleaning my car. Its fun for me. Cleaning wheels is for me no obstacle.

The new M5 wheel and even the 172 wheel will be copyd a lot i garanti that. So everybody will have those wheels very soon. The M5 wheel even as i speak is availble in aftermarket fake qualety for 1/3 of the cost of the bmw wheel. I never seen copy 1O1 style wheels and i doubt i will c them aftermarket in a lower qualety.

On our E46 we have the racing dynamics rs2 19 inch wheel. That another wheel that you wont find in fake copy aftermarket shops. I like it that way.
