Please give my some advise. I need 19? summer wheels for my new F10 to be.
The wheel sizes and the ET?s are as follows:
Front: 8 ? x 19? - ET 33 - tires 245/40
Rear: 9? x 19? - ET 44 - tires 275/35
I will go for non-RF Michelin tires, but the rims are really hard to choose.
I need some better looking wheels than the BMW Style 331 ones are.

I agree that the 331s are just OK. Would you consider the 20-inch 312s? I think they're the best looking of all the F10 wheels available. If you haven't seen them, look here.

How about the 281's?

The 19 inch BMW wheels for the F10 are pretty hideous IMHO. The 20 inch 311s are also better looking than any of the 19 inch choices. So are the 356s (although they are not my cup of tea).

The 356 Bi-colour could be great with the right colour combo. Personally I would still go for 331 with 312 as a good second. Or why not Alpina or Hartge Classic 2?!?

Thank's guys for the suggestions. 
Thanks for the link hinckley
The 281's could look pretty big even as 19" I guess,
thanks DKNewYork
They must be 19" because my new F10 will not be lowered.
But this time I could also go for quality non-OEM wheels.
Keep 'em coming, please with link or pic.

The Hartge Classic II should look good, even though it is not exactly the cheapest wheel out there!
If you cover the ugly upper/rear part of the GT, it should give you a bit of an idea of how they could look like on the F10. (These are 20s)
