403m's for sure.

saying that the 403's are so popular now across msport if you got the 442's they would still look great and the 403m users would probably envy you temporarily

442, especially the orbit grey. The 403's look dated.

442 orbit grey looks great. i like 403 as well but 442 looks better.

vito140 · 04-15-2016, 08:23 AM

442 looks fantastic.
8x19 front and 8 1\2 x 19 rear
Do both of them are aluminium alloy? Does anyone are magnesium?

ShawnOST · 04-15-2016, 08:59 AM

403 M, but I may be a bit biased...

yoandry · 04-15-2016, 10:05 AM

I like the 403 but I also like one with less spokes to show off my brakes

So, I'm open for trade.

403m wheels are the lighter than the 442 much to my surprise.

Planning the yellow M perf brakes and the MPPSK on my car. Modest upgrades but all I would ever do.

barzul · 04-21-2016, 11:13 AM

442 ftw

yes voted for 403 on weight alone.

better to go aftermarket and get the weight down to around 20lbs, tho...

No doubt if weight saving is your goal. As a daily driver and on a non M car I'm cool with OEM wheels.

When I buy the next gen M3 I will put HREs on it

HRE, exactly or any of the fully forged wheels... you will pay to play, though^^

Indeed, if I'm going to go aftermarket I would have to get one of the best brands. If not, BMW still offers the forged wheel option as OEM.

Old thread I know..

Always wanted the 403, looks great and easily identifiable compared to other stock wheels on premium brand cars around town. I think it will become a classic for the 3 series.

That said, I walked into my local showroom a month ago and saw an AW 330 SE with blue m sport brakes and bi color 442s. Took me less than half an hour to lay down a deposit....
