What wheels will be standard on M550 before Julyp production?

I know the 5 spoke wheels won't be standard until July 2017. What wheels will be standard on pre-July models?

Same 19" rims that come in the M-Sports package for the 530i and 540i

The 19" wheels will be standard even after 07/17. The 20" wheels are an option. But the 19" has a different finish, Cerium Gray, compared to the 664M on the 530i/540i.

Interesting :

The parts system says the 3 wheel colors are called:
Orbit Grey
Titanium Matt
Jet Black


I know the press has called the wheels Cerium Gray, but seems thats not their real name.
Other parts are Cerium Gray

Both the German and US pricelist calls the M550i 664M finish Cerium Gray. The 520d to 540i 664M finish is Orbit Gray.

So I guess the "Titanium Matt" ones are what the price lists call "Cerium Gray"

For my M550i now with a production number I went with the wheel upgrade, 20" V-Spoke Wheels Style 759i with mixed performance run flats, with a US MSRP of $950. I asked my CA for a guesstimate if I purchased the 668 M Wheels in July after they became available through the parts department. He said $4,000 +/-. That is a future option for me, but not likely.

FWIW I prefer the 540i 20" wheel 759 over the M550 20" wheel 668 when I saw both at the Detroit show.

The M550 20" wheels are too chunky and they look out of date. Modern wheels have very slim spokes. The 540i 20" looks much sportier to me when viewed in person. In photos I agree the 668 looks better.
