Congrats on ordering the car and getting the wheels you wanted.

Which dealer was the most helpful and gave you the deal ?

Found a picture (next page) of a alpine white 2017 F31 on a set of Orbit gray 398's, the ones that come with the ZTR package.
Other than this car not having the M brakes, it is closest of a real life example as I have seen.

The more I look at them (398's Orbit gray) the more I like them. It does make me wonder if the ZTR is going to be identified by these wheels and blue m brakes; just like the E46 ZHP where defined by such things as wheels and the nose of the car?

Am I cutting my self short on switching these wheels for a set of 441's in ferric gray??

The deal I have with the dealership is I can look at the car as is and if I don't like, they will switch out to 441's no charge.

Food for thought

They're nice wheels. If I am being honest and partial (I know mine came with) but I prefer the 441. They seem to fit the space better? That said you'll see the calipers more with the 398.

Ferric grey is the way to go - that Orbit looks almost black?

I think they look great on a white car.

These typically come with Michelin PSS non run-flats which improve the ride.

Do you know if the dealer is going to switch out the tires when he does the wheel swap ? 441s usually have run flats

Thanks.
I went with this....and it covers and protects everything up to the windows.

Thinking of changing the chrome tips to the black chrome... has anyone done this? Given the shadow line think it will suit the car but I do t know what is involved?

Mine came w black tips. Not sure why since I didn't think that was listed as part of ZTR, but wasn't going to complain!
