Teach me about about alloys f32

Chaps

interested in buying some alloys no idea where to start with all the technical terms on offset and ET etc.

Currently have some 442m wheels and was hoping to switch to 20" or 21" (might be too big) in the future but wanted to figure out all the jargon so i can make an informed choice.

i quite like the 666m wheels along with the 763m wheels but at a few thousands pounds, certainly out of my budget.

Which also got me looking at reps from a company called ******** and Autostyling. Has anyone used either of these companies seemingly a few people have on the M3 cutters forum and had good things to say

I have also tried to look for a similar style of wheel to the 763m from well known manufacturers such as BBS so if anyone can recommend a similar style of wheel that would be great.

21". Wow.

Pretty sure 20" is the max unless someone pipes up otherwise.

Any wheels that are marketed to fit F3x series will fit, plenty of replicas about.

Lol ok 21" sounds like a no no dont want them to be pimp my ride big just fill out the arches and look slightly more sporty over the 442m.

I know a lot of people like them but they just arent my cup of tea.

But thank you for the help will take a look!

Have a look at this thread for some ideas if you've not seen it...

https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...&highlight=666

... also to add if you are looking to fill your arches you may want to think about lowering your ride height/adding spacers as ideally whatever wheels you go for you will want to keep the diameter of the tyre roughly the same (by lowering the profile) so it won't actually physically alter the arch gap or your speedo/gearing/DSC, etc. will all be impacted...
