The wheels are interesting the online pictures don't do them the justice as yours do. I still wish it were possible to get the Sport Rims with MSport.

Your car looks great! Thanks for sharing those pics, those are the wheels I ordered on my mineral gray 228i....I hope to finally take delivery this week -- it's been almost 2 months!!!

Looks really great man just making me even more impatient now.

Great pics!

Is that the Silver Matte Trim on your car? If so, how do you like it? Is it "plasticy", or more metallic?

How are the standard seats? I know many people here prefer the sport seats, but my order is going to have the standard seats, just like yours. Curious how you find them. thanks

it doesn't provide the same support and bolstering of the sport seats but i would say it is pretty good comfort wise and ideal in long drives.

Gorgeous car! I love the outside and inside of the car and those amazing wheels! Do the 18" tires perform better or sportier or they are just for looks? The rims are gorgeous! Congratulations on your new car. I had to look at it again as I am trying to decide what changes I want to make to my build on Monday that I got a good price for on Friday.

I agree. I haven't been able to find a real life photo of this wheel. It's 100% worth the $600 they look fantastic!

Classy and gorgeous! When I first started looking at the 2 this is the color/trim/wheel combo I spec'd out online.

was curious to see how this set up looked when I saw the title and I must say it pulls it all together nicely. I like it a lot. Great choice.

The pictures look fabulous.........I ordered the same wheels as well. Hopefully they will look as good with Alpine White. Two questions: Are these 2014 or 2015 models pictured. Also what is the size, make and model of the tires they put on with these 385 wheels.
