Okay, help me out guys. I need to buy a wheel and it has to be this wheel but I am unsure of what the model/style is because the set came with vehicle. I know the dimensions so I have that covered.

The reason for this is because a pot whole broke my wheel and now I need one to replace it. Also I want these to be gloss black and I was thinking about paying someone to powder coat them, any suggestions in regards to that?

bmw wheel style 343M

They look like 343M painted or plastidipped. However 343M are not OEM rims for an f30. They're either 20" rims from an M5/M6 or possibly replica rims not OEM.

Thank you and they're 18 inch rims and the guy I bought the vehicle from said he got them off of craigslist so I'm not sure. They just look good if I get the paint job done properly!

They're definitely replica 343 rims if 18 inch. You'll have a tough time finding a replacement if ones bent. Maybe get that one repaired and repaint them all or look into a replacement set of rims. GL!
