I did see the picture....

AndreyATC- I surely did carefully see the picture and commented accordingly. To reiterate and elucidate, for the benefit of anyone who is confused with my message, here goes:

This style of rim is called #375.
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

Problem with replicas is that it's not always perfect manufacture quality.
I bought wheels for my winter setup and they do have the slightest vibration
Where stock is just perfect no mater what speed you go.
I had simillar issue with M6 reps on my 335i
Even brand new reps were somewhat shaky
