OK guys, I've been banging my head against the wall for a month on this and am open to any and all suggestions. The F31 with the BBK needs new wheels, must be 19" and must be silver to compliment the old man vibe of black with saddle leather and chrome exterior trim. Also need to be under $700 ea, or close enough within reason. HRE FF15 would be perfect but they quit making them. Vorsteiner V-FF 105 would be great as well but titanium machine is no longer a standard option so they are now very expensive after paying for custom finish. The HRE FF04 is my current backup plan but with custom color again I'm inching close to $800. Something pretty simple with a decent amount of thinner spokes or split spokes is the look I am after for this car. I'd do Apex SM10 and be done with it but the i-beam design is too technical and sporty for the car, that sort of thing with just normal spokes would be perfect.

Anybody have any ideas? Want to stick with that level of quality, not made in Asia, etc. Thanks in advance for the suggestions!

I am on a set of HRE FF04 with custom stone dark clear finish. Grabbed them during the winter sale at 20% off. Couldnt be happier with the fitment. They are as aggressive as it can be without rubbing or having to run stupid negative camber.


Some pics and detail about my setup.

Thanks! Unfortunately I just found out today they are discontinuing them at least for my figment so if I ever need a replacement I am out of luck. Seems silver 19" is not popular anymore.

We have the same car. I am also on the 19s. Didn't know they are getting discontinued. Where did you get the info from?

but then again, wheels always gets discontinued. The Japanese wheels are even worst, they always do a one off batch of certain width and offsets. I wouldn't worry about it as you can always find someone selling these used here and there.

Yeah, that's a fair point but given the circumstances I don't want to buy a wheel that I know going in to be discontinued and even if I find one have to pay to get it refinished in a special color anyway.

I realize that what I want is not the most popular thing in the world in terms of a $600-700 mid-range wheel in light silver 19" size, there's a reason folks aren't making them. Over $1500 ea you can get whatever you want obvs, under $1K everything is gunmetal or black and bigger seems to be more popular.

In terms of same car - yeah and no. I've got the BSM / saddle luxury line old man cosmetic package, so you can get away with a much more aggressive look than I can. Had I ordered the car for me I would have done BSM Sport THP red leather, but that is not exactly ideal for a 70 year old retired doctor.

What's your fitment? I talked to HRE today and they didn't tell me that.

I am double checking with another person there as I am not confident in what I was told. Was planning to run 19x8.5 et30 square.

In other news apparently the BBS SV is an option, although I am not sure I am crazy about it.

Here's the SV from BBS configure site. 20" so a bit bigger than the 19" I'd order but not horrible.
