Default Bought new F10, which rims to go with?

So, finally I have bought a F10. Im so happy. Just love the car.

But I have a delicate problem... i dont know which rims to go with. I have two sets. Which should I go with?

The one i have currently on is 21 inch Hamann. But I also have a new set of Breyton 21 inch...

The black car is mine. Lowered with Hamann springs... The white one is just to show an example of the breyton rims. Which one should I go with?
Please help me deside.

I'll agree with Gene...the rivets just aren't doing it for me. Not a HUGE fan of the Hamman's, but they seem to work a lot better...just seem cleaner overall.

Well the Hamanns do look better in real than on the photos. I will need to put my breytons on and see the difference. But I think I will go for the Hamanns...

Is there a retrofit guide for the 550i exhaust pipes??

BMW sells trapezoid shape tips for 535 models....they are a performance accessory...not sure about the install...from what I've read a pretty easy swap once you get under the car...

have you checked with your local bmw dealer parts department?

Default Wheels

what's up,

How about you send me a sketch of a wheel and make your own forged wheels with your own name or logo on the center caps in a 1pc, 2 or 3pc, concave, ultra concave, extreme concave hook or step lip wheels!!!

I want to start a trend of people sending in designs of a wheel and I can have it made. Forged wheels.

No question. Hamann for sure. Maybe a BMW center cap
