F10 rims?

Hi folks,
I have come across posts that show images of OEM rims but wonderend if anyone knows a website where one can view all bmw rims available for F10. I was at the showroom and they had some amazing BMW rims on the showroom 5's that i cannot find online on their site or any other.
thanks.

If you go to he BMW web site of your country, you should be able to call up the car configurator, which would show you the rims that you can choose from.

http://f10.5post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=365419 All the OEM rims, lots of aftermarket rims fit the car so I doubt anyone has a compilation of that, but check the modded car thread for some ideas.

Try not to buy OEM rims from the dealer .... better buy from US. Huge $ difference (even after factoring in the duties/taxes/shipping).

If you are leasing, I would not bother buying another set of stock rims because you will have no use of them when returning the car, unless you are going to sell them which may fetch very little anyway.

Oh oh damn those 356s are something else. But 20s year round will be tough. Could do it with rim an tyre protection. They probably have a clause against protecting 20s used year round
What am I going to do. I don't want to buy extra wheels for a leased vehicle.

Not a good idea to run 20" year round, in particular winter. It means you will be runnning a very low profile (35 series) winter tires and they would be very hard to find and very expensive. Second, way too many potholes which may lead to damage to both rims & tires.

You can definitely buy rims/tires warranty from dealer, I recalled the terms/clauses of warranty have changed recently and it's best to contact your dealer to ask questions. I think the warranty cost about $1500+
