M668 Wheels on M550i

Anyone else frustrated that they can't get the M668 wheels and must settle for 759i wheels instead? This is starting to annoy me more and more and I was just wondering if it was only me. What are the sizes for both sets? Are the M wheels going to come with better rubber when released?

Thinking if I know the rim/tire sizes on 759i I may just buy aftermarket wheels and reuse the rubber.

Same size, 20x8 and 20x9. I thought they were supposed to be available from the summer.

Yeah, I heard they should be released in July... but that means my car that I need now won't arrive until September - October. I may not have the luxury of waiting that long and I'm afraid I'll be stuck in non-M wheels, which are OK, but do not do the car justice.

wheels available now are not bad, more luxury than sport, but I think they are great on the M550i, the M668 are too boy racer, IMO

I accept the 668 wheels to be exclusive to the G30 550i, just like the 434 wheels were exclusive to the F10/11 M550d.

I have to see the M668 in person....I think they will look good. The 759i are not bad, at all.....but I think the car is too small for a multi-spoke wheel like that.

Judging by the pics, 668 are the best wheels for the M550i.

They are my favourite but still unsure as to whether they will be available in the U.K. especially given we won't get the m550i.

I'd like them to simply be an option for the msport plus package.

669M wheels are now available as VIA port-installed option for US market M550 for $5440. My dealer thinks they are Bi Color, but trying to confirm as they also exist in Orbit Grey.

Yes, they are available in Orbit Grey, but I don't know if the VIA (US port-installed) option is Bi Color or Orbit Grey.
