Looking for some input on wheels

I'm liking these HRE P204 wheels in a 22" finished in the gloss charcoal. These pups are expensive and I'm looking for a little advice. I think the satin charcoal blends with the tires too much. I do like the silver, titanium and clear as well, but think the gloss charcoal would look sweet.

My personal opinion. If you are dropping 10K for a set of wheels choose a finish that matches it. Brushed clear or brushed tinted clear is the ONLY finish that i would choose for something like HRE's

Thanks Alan, having never seen any of the finishes in person, it's hard to tell from photos on the web what they would look like in real life. Clear would be a top choice for me as well.

A white car is actually a hard color to match a wheel color with. You don't have much color choice aside from silver, gray or black. With that said, I think the brush silver will give it the most luxurious and classic feel

What did you decide? End up getting the P204s?

I think aftermarket wheels on BMW SUV isn't an easy task. At times, nothing beats what is offered as OEM.

P204 is not rated for SUV yet.
Got customer inquiry in that.

I picked up a set of 612M OEM wheels with PSS tires from a seller on this site. I'm very happy with the way they look and ride. Ben from RG was very helpful, I just couldn't make up my mind. I'll probably put some all seasons on the 612M wheels, sell the 19's the car came with, and purchase some 22's this spring.

I thought the P200 Series was rated for SUVs at the end of August (P200/P201/P204). Is that not true?

Unfortunately, there is no all-season option for the OEM 612M wheel. The 21 inch size and width are the primary reasons. You may be able to get a winter tire for the 21" (Pirelli), but make sure you order soon. They were out of stock by November of last year.

I just checked with HRE, apparently it is now.
