Pre-LCI or LCI? I have a Pre_LCI and am thinking about a set of 437's. Does the wheel poke from the fenders? I would find an aftermarket if they do.

Thanks for the images, the back looks good but the front is not the look I want.

Front fitment can be fixed with increased negative camber. I don't think it's worth it to choose a cast rep over a forged OE wheel simply for that reason.

I've been looking into a set of these (gray instead of jet black)--I think they look great on the e9x

I’m not going to dial in negative camber in order to make a 19” wheel fit. I like BMW wheels but not so much that I have to replace front tires 2:1 compared to rears.

Every BMW i've owned (all rwd) has gone through rear tires AT LEAST 2x the rate of fronts. Worst case you replace em at the same time. Most likely a little extra camber won't cause noticeable issues.

OP those wheels look great, they fit like they're meant for the e92

I've been happy with my ST parts for over a year now.

do some fluid film or something at the bottom of the body where it goes into the pinch seam. The zinc failed there on mine. Get to it before it looks nasty.
