New Rims for my F30? - Help

So when it comes to cars, I love the look of so many peoples F30's and rims but I have to admit my knowledge is not great. But ever since owning my F30 and coming to this forum I am learning more and more. But for my car I am really unsure what to go for. I am really tempted to go for a set of 442m's in Ferric Grey to keep the cars nice OEM look.

But I am happy to go aftermarket or another OEM style, what do you guys think. A picture of my car is below. I would love to hear you guys suggestions.

I am kinda considering these 405 replicas: http://goo.gl/xzHBUa

Also when making suggestions, bare in mind I am from the UK so please send me suggestion which I am able to purchase in the UK.

Congratulations!

There a too many wheels to go for. As for which one, I would strongly recommend you to follow your heart.

Wheels are very subjective.

Get the ones that match your car and your personality.

If you have the m sport brake callipers it's nice to show them off and keep the view airy in my opinion.

I don't unfortunately, I might get a quote on them but now the stock are staying. Really unsure at the moment what to set my heart on and buy.

Just my opinion (and the only one that matters is yours), but I think the 442's are too similar to the 441's that you currently have to justify the cost. If you're just looking for a darker color (ferric grey), then why not get your 441's repainted?

The ones in the photo in the first post were 400m's

I have since opted for the 405m replicas!

I stand corrected. It's crazy how close 400's and 441's are in appearance, the 442's are at least a little different.




Your 405m Replicas look SHARP! I think you made an excellent choice. Not that the 400s (or 441s for that matter {I have 441s}) look bad, but I think you made a great choice going with a different look as opposed to buying something similar to what you already had.

your 2nd pic is still 400M, this is 441M

how heavy are the 405 reps? the genuine are forged and are decently light. 442Ms are heavy. 441M is decently light. not sure on 400M.

Looks awesome. Like the contrasting colours. You need a lip spoiler next.

Looks great. I went with 437m replicas in gun metal but don't have any pics because they arrived damaged so now I'm dealing with getting a refund...
