I just noticed the 442 is an option for the 2015 builds -

442s look better

Sportier, EASIER to clean the rim esp inside, easier to clean the discs in winter, and, last, but not least, it attracts the attention both to the rim AND the brake surface, which is what we should want with such nice brakes.

My 20" BMW Spyder look on the Laguna Seca limited Edition is terrific as the rim is dark, and focuses the view easily onto the sports brakes.

How does one attach pics here?

You need to attach a URL to your pic (from photobucket etc)

Here are some pics….noting the pictures don't do the wheels justice. They just look better in person. (Also, Tint and Dinan Suspension coming soon!)

I like the 442s but if you are not lowering the car to close the gap they look small. Since the 403 have more air, they will still look like 19s. My buddy has the 442 and at stock height you would not guess they are 19s by looking at them. Once he lowered it, it looked much better and then I would prefer them. As others have said, the more spokes, the longer it takes to clean. LOL..

imo, 442s looks weird to me. It reminds of someone who has a bigger right arm than their left.

Agreed. I can't get excited about ANY of the 19" (or 20")OEM wheels available for the F3#......

The 19" M wheels excite me.

I do want the 442 look. Mainly because it'll be easier to clean.

Anyone want to swap??

Very happy with my 442s! I swapped my 403s on for the winter. MUST HAVE 19s back!
