Sport vs Msport Wheels

What do you guys like better!? I love the sport 397's myself. Having a hard time deciding to keep the msport wheels or see if someone wants to swap

M-sport. Just biased because it's what I have.

But then again one would say grass is greener on the other side.

I love my 397s ..but I do like the 19" M-Sport wheels. I wish BMW would offer stand-alone 19s on their store for the f30. As it stands, they only have the 20s (which are too big for my taste).

I like the 401 staggered sports. Not a bad wheel. Love the M wheels, though.....

I like my 397s, just wish they were staggered. I'd choose the msport wheels simply because they are.

On the topic of M-Sport wheels, any idea why BMW only throws 255's on the M-Sport wheels (same for the Sportline) but if you get a real M car you get 265's?

Love the staggered 400's. Would love them more in 19's with the rears a bit more concave though :P

I have an Msport with the 18's. I love the look of these wheels more than the 19's, as I prefer a 5 spoke look, the 19's are nice but too many spokes, personal preference.

I have staggered sizing 225/255. I'm swapping to non RFT's next month and am considering 235/255 to lessen some of the under steer inherent in staggered setups. I'm also considering 245/40/18 all around.
