For those ordering the Black 19" 437 M Wheels
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

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 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.

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.

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

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.
