Suggestions for wheels?

Looking to get new wheels for my F32, need some suggestions. Preferably 19"

Thanks.

providing more details will elicit better suggestions and response to your question.

what is your budget? wheels, tpms, tires
lowered or not?
purpose?...fashion? function, i.e. track? both?
face style and color preference?

Budget for tpms, tires, and wheels is $3000

lowered on h&r super sport springs

more for fashion

no preference for face

i prefer gloss black/matte black

currently considering 19x9 apex ec7

that's a reasonable choice...19x9 et30 with 255/35/19 square? if you're planning square you can also do arc-8, ec-7, or sm-10 in 19x9.5" et33 with 255/35/19. here is a link, vmr 9.5 et33, 255/35/19, h&r ss, no issues.

a square setup will be cheaper but if considering staggered tire sizes, i'd do 235/40/19 & 265/35/19 or 245/35/19 & 285/35/19 on 19x8.5(or9) et32ish front & 19x9.5(or10) et42ish rear. here are a few respectable quality, flow formed wheels, offered in the right specs, color and price.

tsw neptune
vertini rfs1.2
stance sf03
beyern ritz

there are numerous affordable cast offerings available but they're typically heavy and paying all that money with a degradation in performance doesn't sit right with me, so i won't go there. if you find something you like run it by and i can offer my thoughts on it. recommending wheels is difficult because everyone's "taste" varies widely.

would a staggered setup be compatible with xdrive?

x-drive is fine if you use the sizes I have mentioned. the difference between front front and rear diameters should be less than 1%, equal being ideal. fwiw oem staggered options are commonly offered on x-drive in 18, 19 and 20, meeting the requirement.
