I think 5 spokes look amazing on 4 door sedans and up but on a small car i like more spokes. My 135i had stock 5 spokes and it looked ehh i just like the more spokes better on such a small car |

Well they are JWL and VIA certified so they can't be that bad. Besides it's not like they are a huge investment or anything...

"The problem centres on a particular combination of wheel and tyre. The cracking seems to only affect BMW 19-inch rear alloys, coupled with runflat tyres." Tires are a big part of energy-absorbtion. Run flats are not only performance killers they seem to be wheel killers too!

Have to agree about run flats being wheel killers. Cracked 3 wheels on a Corvette with run flats. Of course the wee bit of concrete I hit was a 80 mph, but that's just a detail.

I think they look great! Do you know what the weights are? I am thinking either these or the Avant Garde ZCP reps in black. According to pyspeed website you can get them in 9 x 19 et 25 and 10 x 19 et 18 which 6mm more aggressive in front and 7mm more aggressive in back. Perfect IMO. Post pics soon!

Any wheels that have spokes that look like pu$$y lips - I'll rock! Good choice!

So I am having the powder matched for the Ferrari gray to go on my wheels.
DILEMMA: Do I powder coat the OEM wheels or the Type M355 F10 M5 Style Wheels? Can't decide which ones will look better in the gray?

I'd opt for the latter if I were you, just so you know you always have the stock look when you need it/want it (in case you wanna win a Concours D'Elegance for stock cars)

BTW, on the weight subject, here is the comparison to OEM and BBS CH-R's. I know there is several lighter wheels options (ADVAN's my personal favorite) but the price goes up as the weight goes down. FRONT: 25.2 lbs and REAR: 28.1 lbs
