HEA (Handler-Erst-Ausstattung - handler only equipment) are the first dealer presentation cars apparently. So what that means - I guess - is that initial 4.8 presentation cars will be delivered with these and that the 210s won't be available until real deliveries start.

the 211 wheels are the best looking ones, i think !

Really? I've always thought that BMW has had the best stock designs of ANY car manufacturer...

This is also why I shudder, when people put rims on BMW... I can understand maybe if you want to replace some ugly GM rims... but BMW rims are beautiful !

The 214's suck in the photo but look tremendous on the press release pics. Looks like I'll have to kiss goodbye to some more ££££'s to upgrade to the 20" option.

IMO the 18" wheels are going to look like pram wheels once on the car.

P.S. Thanks for the pics, we'll just have to wait to find out what is bound for the UK market as standard fitment. Dynamic pack is a must but then I still think I'll hold out for the official Sport model...NEED MORE INFO...BMW certainly like to keep us holding on.

I'm not warming up to any of the either, but if I had to pick, I'd pick the 214's - although all I can see with those are 5 hexagonal holes and not really Y spokes...

I'm guessing these are the 210's (hopefully these are 18's and not 19's). It looks like the 212's are just bigger versions of the same?

Personally, I only like the 211's and 214's - and the press release cars sure do look better with the 315 wide tires.

if you notice the hex spokes in the videos, when in motion it appears they are star spokes

i am going to paint my 20" 214s yellow to look like my old huffy rims! these are from 75 but my pro thunder 4 rims (circa 1982ish) REALLY reminds me of the 214s! but i cannot find a pic of those.

I like 212, that's about it... Favorites have been the pre face lift 19s, that apparently JV didn't like cause he doesn't know what he's talking about :p, and the 4.6 and 4.8 20s.
