For those ordering the Black 19" 437 M Wheels

[///M///]

Are you planning on any aftermarket wheels or pretty much thinking of staying with these wheels? Any input on how much these weigh? I have always had Volk TE37 SL's on all my previous M's and this is the first set of OEM wheels I have seen that looks somewhat appealing. Am wondering if it's worth spending the extra $1200 or save that and use towards the Volks?

I'm not sure the weight, but if you search here you'll find them. They're not stupid light, but they're far from heavy. If you like the look, for 1200, it's a good deal imo

I've got the black 437M wheels on my build (delivery in December), and I plan on immediately going for a set of Forgestars with some wider tires almost as soon as I take delivery.

Info is widely available, so definitely see this page.

These are actually exceptionally light wheels for an OEM in these sizes and will be very hard to get lighter without spending alot more or sacrificing quality.

If you like the 19s, and wish to pay for them, go for it. I would only NOT go for it if you definitely want aftermarket wheels and/or plan to put WIDER rubber on through some other wheels.

Also, the 18s are amazing and the best wheels I've ever had for hiding brake dust and still looking amazing when covered.

I agree, 100% regarding weight for the size/price.. lighter, wider and strong(er) will be expensive.

I really like the 18's, too they look great and are also lightweight.

My concern would be for putting on wider rubber; it's a shame the PSS doesn't come in 285/35R19 as I think up-sizing the rear would help the traction issues some are experiencing.

Why spend the extra money then?

Joe, I have always had 18's on my previous cars. Only reason I was even looking at 19's was because atleast in pictures they seem to suit the F8X better. But I know for a fact I will be going 285 or 295 in the rear so that would probably leave me with an aftermarket choice only.

I may use them as a back-up set or a track set. Or I could always sell 'em, seeing as they seem to go for a pretty penny.

I plan on selling my Black 437 shortly after taking delivery and putting on some aftermarket wheels. My guess is I'll get well more than $1200 for them as they are 700+ each on tischer.

If I still had my e92 335i I'd buy the oem 19's off of someone.. they look great here in these photos from EAS. For those selling you might get some action on them on e90post.

No worries. I have my answer. By the way, is that Interlagos Blue? Nice color.

I think the 18s will fetch good money in the aftermarket. Lot of people seem to want them for a winter set of wheels too and with the weird barrel offset of the 18" wheels to fit the brakes, seems like there may be fewer 18" options for awhile.

Could be wrong

[///M///]

I end up keeping the OEM wheels as I need them when selling the car Never makes sense to sell a car with the expensive aftermarket wheels. Winter wheels is a great idea though I would be a little worried driving on snow with the kind of torque this thing produces.

I wish they were all black, not sure I like the half half. I ordered mine with normal 19s.

I'll take them if you decide to unload them... Let me and keep me in mind! Anyone else that may be reading also feel free to let me know if you plan on selling your Black 437 rims.

Thanks, Joe

Mine has the black 19's. They will stay on. I ordered them so I don't need to swap wheels. I think they're really sharp on my BSM

I love my black 19's... i initially wanted to switch to aftermarket but after seeing my wife pull up to the house the other day ( yea i got lucky and got an enthusiast as a wife) these wheels look bad ass in rotation
