Any wheel that closely resembles the BBS FI-R gets my vote. 763M it is, followed by 437. The other 2 styles might actually prevent me from buying a car with them fitted.

Had 666m on a M4C and pictures definitely don't do them justice. That said it is my least favorite of the group. 763m would have my vote but I'm not down with gold or black. 437m are just too plain! Not offered as an option here (USA).

I didn't care much for the 666M myself, until I saw them in person, and they definitely have presence.

I think having the rankings of favourite to least favourite wheel would be ideal.

M2 is best with 437. A bit more retro.
M2C is best with 788. A bit more style.
M2CS is best with 763. A bit more aggression.

Oh. That's what comes standard. Imagine that.

So to answer the poll I should choose 437 I guess?

Um, they are all the same car, aesthetically, so what you're actually saying here is that your wheel choice is based on how you feel about the car. Which is, well, weird.

My favorite current is indeed Style 763M

While Style 359 is a big favorite among other BMW owners, my all time favorite will always be Style 37 (a.k.a M Parallel)

Gotta say I'm surprised the 666m are in last. They got my vote.

Would everyone be as in love with 763s if they were factory equipped and not another mod to lust after?

Honestly, 437m is one of the best modern day factory wheels in the same regard M parallels were in their day. If they weren't so common, they'd be more appreciated. All my opinion, of course.

I tend to agree. If the 437M was more rare, and more expensive, and lighter, it'd be more popular. I think it fits the car the best, with regards to style, elegant and muscular, and with proper thickness spokes. The 763 style doesn't fit the car as well, but again, as you said, more rare.
