Quite a few pics here, take a look. The 1-series needs high offset wheels so be careful in your choice:

Many will argue that you can't go wrong with a mesh pattern. I like 16 spoke mesh wheels like the Iconz that miro2296 recently picked up.

What is the best food?

I like the Advans better than anything I've seen so far. I'm thinking of picking up a set. The offsets aren't ideal, but they seem to work OK.

These....then again I am biased and they are expensive (all colors are custom chosen by you).....

Hmmm, don't know. The Advans look like FWD wheels on a RWD car.

Offsets and tire size info STAT!

the vors rims from adrean8j look sickeningly good.

M3_Dust · 02-05-2010, 12:43 PM

you should start with something that fits correctly, that will narrow your choices down real quick

Well they were designed in Japan...

Im picking up a set of Advans come Spring, I love the look.

randomquickness · 02-05-2010, 02:49 PM

if you like the black on white look, this is an idea of mesh with lip on a 1er:

After much research a decided on 18" Breytons (for my AW), from tire rack, in matte grey, ( I don´t like the red ring that comes with it, so I´m going to have it painted also matte grey).

ALUFELGEN · 02-05-2010, 07:54 PM

+1 on the Alufelgen.

Our CS7 wheels fit like a glove on the 1-Series. No stretched or fender rolling.
