Does anyone have a pic of the stock style 371 wheels? These come standard on the 2012 128i without the sport package, and I can't find pictures of these anywhere.

Never heard of Style 371's. The base 128i used to come fitted with Style 256's, the Sport with Style 262's, and the M-Sport with Style 207M's. For 2012, the Style 256's were deleted from the lineup, the Style 262's became the "base" wheel, the Style 207M's remained part of the M-Sprt Pack, and the Style 370's (the new "aero" wheels) became part of the Sport Pack. If it's the Style 370's you're wondering about, here's a pic from the official press release:

Thanks for your help. The BMW website calls the wheels, style 371 star spoke, and I've never heard of them or seen pics of them either. I guess they changed the number if they're the old 262's. I just know I don't want the style 360 that used to come on the base 128i because I think they're ugly, and they'd be hard to clean.

Oh, you're talking about a convertible. Sorry, I missed that.

Yeah, it looks like the base convertibles come with Style 371 wheels, which I've never seen before. The Sport and M-sport cars are equipped the same as the coupes, it looks like. Judging by the image on BMW's site, I'd say they look pretty cool. But then, I'm probably one of the few people that likes the Style 372 (V-spoke) wheels that appeared on the 2012 135i's. Heck, I even sort of like the old Style 360's that you don't like, except that they're too small.

Found this web gallery of a 2012 'vert with the Style 371's for sale:
