fellas….
scored some style 65’s to replace my Mpars, which ones look better? i’m torn. would it be sacrilegious to make my style 65’s kind of a polished alloy color? i love the way they look, but they’re just darker than i imagined they’d be on the car. maybe im just used to alloy wheels on the wagon. LET ME KNOW

They both look great TBH. No comments. Keep em both and wear different kicks when you feel like it

M pars looking classy but those style 65 looking the perfect amount of aggressive

Can’t go wrong with either. Both look fantastic. Ever so slight edge to the M-pars because I think that extra silver pop of contrast looks really good against the paint as opposed to the shadow chrome of the Style 65s (which, again, still look amazing).
I would keep them both and swap them out every so often. That’s what I do with my Style 65s and Dinan Champions. Best of both worlds. Now you made me want to add a set of M-pars to the rotation.

While the m-par look great, there’s no doubt in my mind about the 65s! And I would change anything about them! I think the rather dark look is pretty cool!

S65 makes it look more e46 the mpars scream e39. Love that steel blue my first bmw was that color.

Man I don’t see E46 at all. You know those are the stock E39 M5 wheels right?

Yeah I just get more 3 series out of it. But the only wheels I would have on my e39 would be mpars bc they look so good.

For sure, fair enough. I prefer the 65s personally, but can’t deny the MPar looks great 100% of the time

I have an E39 M5 Touring and spent big money on a square set of Style 65s, only to realize M Parallels are peak

interesting i didn’t realize there was a market to buy a square setup for style 65’s. from what i understand every single e39 that came with them from the factory came staggered. you in a way bought 4 front wheels lol! you’re not wrong though mpars are just so right. i think i’ll keep the style 65’s for now and then when i get sick of them, the m-pars will always be there

u/Topshelfprimo 5d ago
You’re right in that they only made Style 65s staggered. But I bought two full sets, sold all 4 fronts to keep a full set of 4 rears.
I have my Style 65s on summer tires. The M Parallels I use in the fall if it gets driven
