Yeah I hear ya, but I like them a lot, I just wanted a different look. I always like the 7-spoke design wheel on the newer 3 series (only about 2 yrs later, lol) and I wanted to do something different like last time. That and the price was right. Also, I love the sidewall because it allows me to “properly” hit those potholes and not worry too much, lol!
I gotta admit though, the pictures don’t do it justice at all!
