Plenty of information. More useful than just posting pics with wheels on.

Have a sit and read through it

I have a set of M Sport OEM Wheels I'm about to sell if you're interested.

What do they look like? Any pics?

I'm a fan of OE BMW wheels. Recently I bought a used (but mint) set BMW 17 inchers for next to nothing MADE IN EUROPE. The individual replaced these with a set of Beyern 18 inchers MADE IN CHINA.
As mentioned by Mike Miller, if you damage 1 of your aftermarket wheels, you may not be able to get a replacement because the aftermarket industry changes their designs often and you're left with only 3 wheels. Here in the North East winter pot holes destroy rim after rim after rim.
In 10 years, 20 years I'll still be able to find a replacement BMW rim if I need just one.

I like BMW wheels as well and bought a set of 18" 313s back in 2011. I Think they are one of the nicest wheels BMW makes for the 1er. They are expensive (what isn't from BMW?) but I think they're worth it. Still like them today as much as I did when I first got them. These wheels are also the standard wheels on the 2013 135is.

I love the 264 wheels, I have rear 18"x8.5" on all 4 corners, they are pretty strong and the look good when there isn't an inch of brake dust on them.

The only other wheel designs I like are ones that are similar to the M and CSL wheels

If I ever decided to flare my wheel arches I'd love to get the 1M wheels

I like the 264s as well. I think they are a classic design. Had them on my first 1er. Beautiful IMO.

Yeah I was thinking about getting some OEM wheels too, but at the same time I wanted something a little different.

[edisapimp]

You pretty much have two options, Get an OEM wheel that everyone has (313s, 269s, 359s), or get an aftermarket wheel that everyone has (VMRs).

The offsets for the 1series are unusual, and don't leave you with many options that will allow you the tire you need to enhance the driving experience. Personally I agree with the OEM route, and with the new technology for wrapping and spray powder coating getting easier and cheaper, you could always get an OEM wheel from another BMW, change the color to something unique and have a distinctly different look. Good luck, and happy motoring!

ALUFELGEN SF71 here, I'll be so sad when I finally break one as they are practically impossible to find now.

Saw someone say something about VMR in here so here is my car on some VMR VB3, et 40 and 45, no rubbing at all when I was on springs. Love them because they look OEM+.

BMW style 264. Big fan of original BMW wheels. Only other wheels I like are the classics.

E46 Style 32 8x28 et49 & 8.5x18 et50
E82 style 313 7.5x18 et49 & 8.5x18 et52
and maybe 261 7.5x18 et49 & 8.5x18 et52

[Gangplank]

Style 67. Though the figment might be narrow for some since only come in 8x18 et 47

[OneLove Bimmer]

I came across these wheels that I think look pretty sweet. What do you guys think?

[Walt White Coupe]

Unfortunately this is a discontinued wheel by Breyton:

[Mr Rooty Von Tooty]

Only OEM or BBS.

Absolutely love the VB3. I wish VMR would bring them back in a flowforged version.
