Thoughts on F31 19" Wheels

Chompers · 09-18-2017, 12:18 PM

Hi All,

Just wondered what everybody thought about the choice of 19" wheels on F31's 403M's, 442M's or 704M's. what would you go for?

NotGotABimmer23 · 09-18-2017, 12:25 PM

704m all day long.

Dr Forinor · 09-18-2017, 12:26 PM

In this order

704M
Very close runner up of 403M
.
.
.
.
.
.
Distant last is the 442M

UKF30 · 09-18-2017, 01:00 PM

None of the above for me mate .

Reason is if you going to change alloys then why go OEM basic alloys , why not splash out and get some bad ass steggard alloys

This is only my opinion mate

Out of all above I think 442M is best looking .

Have a look at Darth Helmut alloys

Chompers · 09-18-2017, 01:27 PM

Thanks for input so far. I maybe should have been more specific with my question:

If you were ordering a new F31 and these were the choice available, what would you go for?

DriveS · 09-18-2017, 03:36 PM

Get some pics up and you will get some more votes. I dont have a clue what they look like

MickyD'bo · 09-18-2017, 03:57 PM

I never know which is which. Which design is the 7XX?

Just googled. It's the LCI. Gotcha. I thought all three are okay. If I was changing I'd not go OEM.

I'd second that.

Agreed.

Any excuse to post pictures of your car!! Did you not read the OP's original post and then clarification post further down?

it does look good, if you're into that side of things. Sadly it's the wrong shape and I'm not into moding.

I have 403's on current car, 442's seem to be everywhere and the new 704's just don't seem different enough.

There was supposed to be a smiley or something after my post, it wasn't seriously having a pop at you. Your car looks great, I'd be posting pics everywhere too.

Grant_7 · 09-19-2017, 03:51 AM

I think it depends entirely on colour. I much prefer 403Ms with lighter colours such as GC, however the 442Ms work well with EB.

GEP77 · 09-19-2017, 04:14 AM

I put 442Ms onto my Mineral Grey F31 and thought they looked very good, far better than the 403s previously.

Purely from a practical point of view though 442 and 704Ms are much easier to clean.

Alscoob · 09-19-2017, 06:04 AM

Pity they still don't do the original 4 series 442m option, like this.....

Just a bit lighter like 403's but easier to clean

....and yes I know my centre caps not aligned !!

Chompers · 09-19-2017, 02:40 PM

As always, great feedback

the cleaning point above is very valid.

I thought there would be a bigger difference in opinion, guessing the 704's would be top. So to the next stage

R99 · 09-19-2017, 05:36 PM

We have a winner!

I need these!

Chompers · 09-24-2017, 02:55 PM

704's are the winner then, but thanks for the pic of the 437's they do look very good. Just not an option. Thanks to all who replied
