You won't be able to order a new car with those style 263 wheels delivered on it in the States. You could find the wheel part number and order them from the dealer though. They would be in addition to the delivered wheels though...

Ummm...no. The wheel choices for the US market royally suck ass, to the extent that it would be smarter to order your car with the optional 205/50r17s (I'm presuming you want a 135i) and put snow tires on the rims, then buy a set of aftermarket wheels (OEM or otherwise) for the main wheel/tire combo in whatever size and style you like.

Wolfie, the OP probably doesn't need a set of snow wheels/tires down in Florida. :wink:
But that is a very good idea for those living in the great white north country.

Acquiring the taste.

You might be the first customer ever that likes those things.
Regardless of what I think of those wheels, BMWNA does an absolutely horrible job of providing variety for their customer's varied tastes. That the options selections (particularly for the 1, but still bad on other models) are so sparse and limited compared to the rest of the world. Perhaps that is what keeps the price so low in the states vs. our euro pals, but if you're going to need to spend another 5k after market just to get the car you wanted from the factory...what's the point? Come on BMW, all these cars are built in the same fucking factory. Give us some wheel choices, give us some leather that isn't black, red or puke, give us more paint options than black, red, blue and 5 shades of gray. |

You never know, there's always that rascally 'climate change'.
