261 v. 264

I was curious which rim people think looks better on the 135i. I'm really torn and thought I might see if there was a consensus.

First picture is the 264.
Second picture is the 261.

1) screen capture the image you want. this is different for macs and pcs. google it and you'll find out how exactly.

2) save the file as a jpeg

3) when you post a message click the paperclip button that opens a new window that allows you to upload images.

alternatively the upload images window allows you to post URLs...

hope that helps!

Not that big a fan of the 261. Maybe if I saw it in person...

I mean the 261's are definetly growing on me. They look like the old M Parrelles without the lip. They will probably be an option later. BMW NA always slowly releases what the european market gets in the begining to keep interest up.

I wont pay extra for them though unless they are actaully lighter.

I cant figure it out but the 261's look sort of out of place. Maybe it is the shot but they almost let in too much light(lol).
All's I know is I wouldn't complain if either came on my car.
Bottomline:
I would have after market rims and they most def would be very similar to the tii's which are pure sex!
