Hey all, I have a dark graphite gray 540i with carbon fiber trim so I am trying to to get rid of all the shiny silver including on the wheels. I've been looking at the BBS CI-R in the bronze for a bit of pop:

Or the Vorsteiner VFF-110 in carbon graphite:

I would like to try the Vorsteiner VFN 501 in either of the graphite colors or satin bronze but I don't think my wallet will allow it anytime soon. On that topic, does anyone know if VIBE Motorsports ever has sales?

Picture of my car with wheel gaps that should be closed up with the Dinan springs I have waiting on install. Now just hoping the wheels will finish off the more aggressive look.

Which wheels and color do you all prefer?

Found some photos of the wheels that I was able to save to my phone and upload.

Have you considered a set of used forged wheels? Plenty of nice forged aftermarket wheels on the used local markets for pretty cheap since it's a common bolt pattern and size.

That's a good idea that I haven't thought about. I will check around but, unfortunately, I'm in the middle of nowhere North Carolina. The only forged wheels I see around here are on trucks.

I got a set of Variant Wheels' Krypton in full brushed aluminum finish w/ bright red center caps last year. My vehicle color is bluestone metallic.

I think they have 3 finishes: Gloss Piano Black, Brushed Aluminum, and Super Black Chrome. This Krypton wheel looks similar to Vorsteiner VFN 501 though.

I had a set of VMR 710’s on my F30. They were pretty nice and really looked sharp with the deep concave look. I only have seen them run sales for Black Friday. I also like the Forgestar F14’s.

Black is pretty common so the bronze BBS gets my vote.

BMW 649i (from G11) are forged and look identical to the wheels on OP's car (759i). I would lean towards finding OEM BMW wheels, perhaps from a 7 series. They have a more aggressive offset (-5 mm) front and back.

I would love to get some OEM BMW wheels!

Ideally, I would get the wheels from the new M5 CS. Those are gorgeous and exactly what I want. Anyone know the BMW name or part number for those already?

I've been starring at those BBSs for a week now. So simple but sexy. Cheapest company is from Germany but it's like $600 shipping lol

What is the price you found and do you have a link to the site?

They have the most perfect fit and offsets for G30 too.
