BMW OEM (Original BMW rim) ONLY comes in 21", which suggests that the rim in this thread is NOT an OEM. In other words, it is a replica. For further knowledge, I had mentioned that these rims are easily available on ebay in 20" also. Between the two sizes, I definitely recommend a 20" replica if driving conditions are not too bad, for the only reason that in case of tire rips/tears there are many brands which make this size. If driving conditions are bad then better to avoid as it may bend a replica rim more easily than an OEM.
However for 21" OEMs or 21" replicas, there is only one tire available.

Thanks
But the wheel pictured is a 336 and is a 20" OEM wheel (also apparently available aftermarket).

You are correct however that the 375 is only avail in 21" OEM (not sure about aftermarket), but it is a different wheel. A picture of it is attached.
