'Plug and Play' Wheel Options

I have a 2023 M5 on order and I would like to add some aftermarket wheels after it arrives. I looked at all the pictures posted of other members wheels (thanks!), but the question I have is that does somebody have a list of aftermarket wheels made specifically for the F90 M5 that do NOT require any modifications like spacers? I have had issues in the past with aftermarket wheels that are not hub centric and having to add spacers, so I was hoping somebody has already done the work on what aftermarket wheels can be used to replace the OEM wheels directly without new tires or any kind of modifications. Thanks!

Most of the main manufacturers make them that will fit the F90 hub and wheel. But they will differ in offset. Not all will be the same and some still may require spacers based on your preference.

There is no master list anyone has prepared that I have seen. Figure out what you want first, then do the research. Here are some things to think about as you figure out what you want.

It’s the offsets that will vary from stock, maybe because the wheels are wider or maybe because the maker wants to move the wheels outboard so the buyer is less likely to want a spacer. And some wheels can be custom ordered in whatever offset you specify.

Some are much lighter than the heaviest stock wheels and some only a little lighter.

Some cost $2k a set and some cost $12k a set.

I’d find pictures of wheels on these cars to decide the colors and styles you want to focus on. That is what I did.

Thanks for the information. I did find the bolt pattern and offsets of the OEM wheels online, but I was hoping someone else had a list of aftermarket wheels very close to these numbers. Also, I have noticed in the past that getting offsets close to the OEM numbers does not guarantee you won't have rubbing or shaking at speed. I guess I'll have to do more research after selecting the wheels I like and finding if they will fit my car without spacers. And of course, check the classifieds on this forum!

I wanted lightweight on a budget, so I was looking at Dinan DC3 and Titan7 TS5 in 20x10 and 11 for around $3300 a set. Designed for the F90. No need to use a spacer unless you have some particular minor cosmetic requirement.

I would not look at any wheels not designed for the F90. Spacers for any wheel designed for the F90 are for cosmetic purposes. I use H&R spacers with my stock 20” wheels in 11/15mm sizes along with a stud conversion and have tested them to beyond 160 mph without issue.

BBS has 6 different models of wheels that are made and tested specifically for f90, they are all hub centric

Those OEM wheels look good. What is the size and weight? My guess is they are not wider than stock and they weigh more than similarly priced aftermarket options.

Same size as other OEM f90 wheels. 20x9.5 and 20x10.5, both et28.

I am a big fan of BBS wheels; the ones they made for my first BMW, a 2000 528i Sport Package, are my all time favorite BMW wheel.

My favorite style is like the Savini SV-F3 in Matte Black. But, I don't know if Savini is a good quality wheel or if it is hub centric. If I can find something similar to this style that fits my vehicle, I would probably buy it.
