I'm getting my BS Msport this week...do i keep the Msport rims m225 or swap?

I originally had mine coming from factory but couldnt wait 3 months so i got one that had a couple options to get it in a few days...but I really like the Style 230 rims...as opposed to the 19 inch 225M rims that come on the Msport coupe. Not sure if i should keep the 225m's as they are more exclusive or go to the 230's. BMW dealer has the 225 rims about $1200 more CDN than the 230's
2009 335i couple Msport, black/black, audiofile, executive pkg.

I hope those members dont mind me using the pics..
the 5 stars are the 230's CPI's car

I love 225M's, too bad we don't get them in the US from the factory.

1 more vote for 225m. I think BMWs look better with more spokes

i love the 225's, it's not fair that here in the states we don't have the M-Sport 19" wheel option

Yeah I never understood that. Why 225m only in Canada? BMW is so weird. I wanted to get the standalone Alarm Option. No go in Canada, if I wanted it I would have to get the Exec Pack that costed $2100. Oh well, if it gets stolen, State Farm will give me 100% back anyways.

I like them both but the 225's will be more exclusive.

BTW, the 230's weren't available in the US initially either. Took a year or two to show up there.
