It's not you. The black wheels are the only acceptable looking wheels available on the F90.

I love the guys comment..."I have to come on the throttle later to try to catch the M5 at the right spot".....pull him out of the driver's seat... LC used as designed gets me 11.2's all day long at plus 4000ft DA......not 11.5x lol.....

I can't believe it's been just about 6 years ago since I did Euro Delivery. Good memories.

I feel that they look aftermarket perhaps but not horrible, I quite like them myself.
Most importantly for me they are forged and will be some amount lighter than the standard 20" wheels - exactly how much hasn't been published yet but I'm sure it will be a reasonable amount. They also fix the weirdness with the spokes being different lengths on the stock 20" wheels. If you look at this pic you'll see that starting from about 2 o'clock: (top ones are too dark) The first spoke is longer and has a small hole in it then the bottom half of that pair is shorter and stops before the nut. The next pair of spokes both go the whole way to the centre and the one at about 5 o'clock has a hole in it too. The ones at 6 o'clock have different lengths but no holes in them, this is repeated with the ones at about 8 o'clock but those ones are the other way around. It is the most hap-hazard wheel design I've ever seen! https://f90.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...=1923&slide=61 |

The standard (non-competition) 20" are also forged according to the BMW technical training document. The 19" are cast.

BMW USA also said the 601m were forged (they aren't), 343m silver weren't (they are) and 343m were (they got one right). I don't believe the 706m are, but we'll see in due course. Check out the F10 forum for the discussion there.
