I tend to agree that ZCP wheels are the best looking wheels on the e9x platform, period. With that said, OP is looking to change it up and the "niche" filled by Forgestar in terms of style, value, and custom size/offset is worth considering. Personally, I think SDC F14s are a close 2nd aesthetically and that is regardless of price/brand. Some wheels look "good" on these cars, while 359s and F14s look like they actually belong on these cars.

But hey whatever, people seem to like them and they serve a purpose, especially if you're trying to maximize the amount of wheel under a car that needs an offset most companies don't offer off the shelf (like ours) without spending absurd money on some of the boutique wheels out there The CF5 is pretty rad in person I think. The chunky spokes fit the chunky center/lug area really well and the spokes out at the lip looks like it was done on purpose instead of somebody forgetting to stop drawing spokes

There's a reason TE37's are popular. They're amazing wheels and they look amazing on these cars, don't know what t f the people who think they're played out are talking about, I can't remember the last time I saw a set of TE's on the street, and I don't think I've ever seen them in person on a BMW that wasn't at the track, and even if you see the same wheels on another car, it won't be fire orange, and having some of the lightest wheels available at any price on your car is never played out

To be clear though, my main gripe with them is aesthetics and not their relative commonality. I think the thick flat spokes look ugly and cheap, just like you think the F14s are ugly. In regards to uniqueness, you could say the same thing about any aftermarket wheel being unique on fire orange. I was making that same point when OP mentioned F14s being common on M3s. I can understand using TE37s as track wheels where form takes a backseat to function, that's what they're designed for. Personally I'd be looking at Apex or Titan7 for a BMW, but TEs are fine for this specific purpose. All of this is 100% opinion and perception, obviously. I'm not trying to offend anyone either.
