Help me decide!

Hey in the market for a new set of wheels for my 22’ mineral white m340 xdrive!

Looking at the following

HRE ff10 in Liquid Metal (normal price, per wheel)

Variant radon titanium ( on sale for ~500 p/w)

Vossen hf2

Vorsteiners
The complex style really looks good on the pictures I’ve seen.

I do like the goldish, bronze type colors as well.. but this isn’t a Subaru and that’s majority of the comments I’ve seen get tossed at gold on white


If there’s another brand/style that really would make the mineral white look amazing I’m open to that as well!

Don't forget to take a close look at BCForged wheels.

What's great about BCForged wheels is you are able to obtain a true forged wheel for roughly the same price as a flow formed wheel. Not to mention, they are customizable

There is a TON of options, it’s almost overwhelming.

Will do, I’m honestly thinking save some cash for rear diffuser+front lip and go with one of the other brands.

HRE’s looks fantastic, but those variants for 2200 or Rohanas for 2k flat might work.

Looks like upwards of 3700 for the ones suggested, although amazing, tough decisions.

I was in the same boat and ultimately decided on a set of Vossen HF5. HRE makes a fantastic wheel and their customer service is the best in the industry. Rohana and Ferrada were on the table but every mustang in and around my area has a set so I decided to travel in a different direction.

Variant Radon Titanium Brushed Wheels are on sale, have not really seen these on many vehicles. Deciding is so hard, so many good options. although these variant's are 1K+ cheaper than HRE..

For me, I'm not a fan of replicas. It seems as if Variant has went out of their way to copy their competitor designs. Another thing to think about is warranty, quality control and customer service. You might save some cash up front, but deal with a nightmare later. There are plenty of threads where individuals have purchased more affordable options, only to end up dealing with headaches in the end. I'm a true believer in "buy once, cry once"

Very true. Have you seen any companies with that frozen gold color of the 763M? I dig that, or may just get my stock ones painted that color

My heartburn with HRE is they only recommend a square setup, no staggered.

They told me the same, but I made my own staggered set up and have contemplated changing the rears to 20x10.5 but don't want to deal with work involved. (Work being selling my current rear wheels, buying new tires, etc)

I’m running squared with my xdrive anyway. Man I want some of those frozen golds. They sell the 20” version that fit the 8 series a guy tossed them on his m240 and they fit.

What additional work are you referring to? I have 20x10.5 in the rear and I never encountered any additional modifications..

xDrive is a bit different, and you should run a squared setup.
