Style 220M wheels

Hi all,

I have E90 M3 on its way, it's equipped with the 220M wheels.

I was considering looking for a set of 359M wheels, however I may really like the style of the 220M wheels plus it looks like they are made by Fuchs.

Some questions for the community;

Are the 220M wheels made by Fuchs?
Is there a perceivable hading improvement from the extra .5 inch width of the 359M?

Also side note, if they are made by Fuchs, why don't they have more value vs the other E9x OEM wheels? In the Porsche world I recall people paying a huge premium to have Fuchs wheels.

A) yes
B) yes
C) they’re heavy and bling but I have a set and don’t plan to sell. They’re the best oem wheels sold for the car imo

I like my 220m wheels but the 359's look so much better, I think that's the main reason.

Thanks for the confirmation on the manufacture. Looks I'm going to be keeping them on the car with that news. Stick some cup 2s on there and call it a day.

Fuchs current line up has 19 inch wheels around $1300 per! Hopefully BMW captured that level of quality in their contract with them for the 220m.

Maybe if a great deal on the comp wheels shows up I'll give them a try but I think my proactive search is over for now.
