I just bought the 19" BMW M Cross Spoke 101s (2-piece wheels made, of course, by BBS). So, naturally they are my favorites. ~(:^) Really though there are some incredibly good looking wheels out there (and above)--that surpass the 101s in looks. But, I am partially emphasizing performance and bang-for the-buck factors in the favorite wheels equation. The rear 101s (9.5"s) weigh only about 22.5 lbs.; I am not sure what the fronts (8"s) weigh, but they probably would weigh, say, 2 lbs. less. The rears list for "only" $745, while the fronts list for "only" $715. It would be interesting if those of you who already have replied would go back and edit your posts to indicate list prices and weights for your favorites. I also like the 101s because they could not possibly raise a warranty issue since they are shown in the 5 Series accessories catalog. Finally, I like them because the lug nuts don't show. My tires are 19" PS2s--275 X 30s and 245 X 35s.

Excuse my ignorance, but are all M wheels made by BBS? I mean are the original M wheels made by BBS for BMW? Are you sure that these are the same ones sold by BMWs or are they replicas? Also are you sure of the weight you stated above, because if they are so light then I'd consider them a bargain for looks and performance.

I am interested in buying the M Style 135 wheels since I am looking for 18's (I have a 520i, so 19's will be a joke ). I found this sight Click Here that sells the M style 135 for only $325. Do you think that these wheels are original, BBS?
