Name some of the best looking wheels for our cars

Hey Fellas, I'm Rim shopping AGAIN.. lol
I know 214s are the most popular, whats the next best thing ? I was also thinking of going 18" again and fit the fat tires 275/ 315s .. the weights just bogging my car down (I realized when I put winters back on lol)

I just bought a 2013 35d with 214's, and didn't realize these were desirable. I don't love the looks, and given a choice I would prefer 19" non-staggered wheels.

My favorite E70 wheel is still, probably, the 214's. I have the 333's which I like a lot too - I think my M sport would look odd if I went to 214's.

My favorite OEM X5 wheel right now is the 599M (21's). You mostly see these on the new F15, but I have seen a pic or two of them on the E70…

You aren't the first to ask

The previous owner of this car didn't know how to park, and there is some rash. I take delivery in a couple of days and will have to decide whether to refinish them and keep them, refinish them and sell/trade them, or just sell them as-is. Thanks for the offer, though.

Are those OEM tires/sizes? They look tiny on those wheels, especially with all that fender gap
