Hi Guys would value your opinion on wheel choices for my new 335i. I have narrowed it down (this week anyway as car is not due until August) to possibly two choices. I have decided on black wheels but about 50/50 on either Stance SC 5s or Avant Garde M550s. Both set are staggered 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 as I will be using the original tyres. In photos on the net they look very similar but in the'flesh' the SC 5s have a gloss lip.

Its my first BMW so I want it to look very neat and tidy.

One other thing, brake dust! I always have kept my wheels spotless but this looks like a challenge with the BMW. Is there any special trick apart form cleaning them every day?

Thank in advance I really enjoy this forum.

I vote Avantgarde M550. Overall design is better than the Stance.

To pull it off I reckon the car will need a subtle lowering though

As for the brake dust you can get wheels sealed with something.. alternatively swap out brake pads for lower dusting ones.

Really? What can you seal them with, be very keen to know. I had the same niggling issue with my GTI as well.

Thanks Stu I'm leaning that way too. I agree with the lowering as well, it doesn't need much.

Thanks again.

This stuff is great, its easy to apply and 99% of the muck can be removed with the karcher

Your welcome dude, it's very easy to apply also! Just make sure its perfectly clean before starting, i used alcohol to wipe it clean and then apply the nanolex.

Make sure you wear gloves that stuff stinks!!

I've had 1 coat on my weekend car since 2012 and the coating still works very well
