This wheel looks much better than what BMW is presently offering for the F10. It reminds me of the M-Wheels I had on my 2000 740i Sport. Go for it.

Not lowered? The car definitely needs to get lower to get the full effect of those stylish wheels.

+1 on that.

It will look strange without sport springs..but I saw on the BMW hp that they offer a sport setup for F10 just like on e60s...

I'm with the others regarding lowering the car if you fit rims like that, which I think look great.

I thought you were happy with your current E60's lowering? I know you used an Eibach Pro set-up, so why not get the factory M-Sport suspension?
