Best looking aftermarket wheel style for G80?

I was just wondering what everyone thought is the best aftermarket wheel style for the G80? I know this is subjective, but generally busy or subtle designs may not go with a luxury or sport car model (m3 vs 5/7 series).

busy design Spider web style like oem? concave subtle style Y-spoke?

Wheel styles are very subjective. You can never go wrong with a traditional 5 spoke, but to me, the aggressive styling of the G8X platform calls for more aggressive wheels. I think this is the reason the 826M stock wheels look great and simply need spacers and a drop to look good.

I have personally opted for set of ANRKY S1-X1's. Brushed clear face with gunmetal tumble windows. Placed the order and am waiting another 3-4 months - which is fine since I won't have my M3 until then either. I'm debating on the 3 piece S3-X1 but we'll see

Holy crap…just googled those and saw the price.

They look an awful lot like my MSW 50 winter rims. These aren’t forged, but they’re 1/10 the price.

They certainly were a pretty penny! However, I absolutely love the look and decided to treat myself after a pretty crappy personal 2020, but lucrative 2021 business-wise. Some people buy Rolex time pieces to commemorate something, I personally enjoy car parts! But I'm 100% sure the ANRKY wheels won't hold their value as much as a Submariner or a GMT Master

True. But I bet you already have Rolex watches in your drawer
Can't wait to see the wheels mounted on the car!

Just visually? Or did they share the offset specs with you?

Exchanged quite a few emails with Alex @ Edelweiss and learned a lot about their design and objectives.
The offset spec of the LT°3 was a little too aggressive for my liking.
I'm sure it'll be the perfect, 'flush' setup that most members here are after, but I'm more on the conservative side.
I like the stock rear offset setting, and would like maybe about 6-8mm less on the front to even out with the rears.
