I hope you guys don't get bored with me, with all these wheels questioners.
After all my 19" wheel searches (and the help from you guys) I have come to a conclusion.
Only 20" wheels will do for me for the summers.
I now have under my E60 172 M's with 245/35 and 275/30 19" tires, with Dunlop SP Sport Maxx non-RF's.
They are just great.
My new F10 will have non-RF 245/35 and 285/30 20" tires, with possibly the same Dunlop brand and sign.
The big Q is: 312 Ferricgrey or silver?
Please note that my new car will be Jet Black with Veneto Beige interior.

Perhaps you could explain.
The Ferritgrey's look kind of dirty all the time.
I'm looking for contrasts, black car with light beige int,
black car with chrome lines and silver wheels.

Ferricgrey, absolutely. In my opinion, the slightly darker wheel looks better with the black paint. The silver works better with lighter colors. And as an added bonus, I suspect the ferricgrey will hide the brake dust better!

Sure. I think the Ferricgrey will look a lot better than the standard silver on the black car! Think that it will compliment it better, and the silver will look a little too bright on a dark coloured car.... IMO

As I have said before, I ordered my car with the OEM 18" Style 238 wheels and OEM RF summer tires.
Then I made a deal with my BMW dealer to change the RF summers to non-RF winters.
Now I can order my summer wheels and non-RF tires from where ever I choose.
Have tried to get wheel offers from BMW in Germany and Estonia, but so far no luck.
From where and what wheels and tires I will buy is still open.
But I need to do it in June.

I'm for the Silver.
Vote one - against two.
