I call the SV wheels BBS style because those were the first rims I saw of that style on a BMW. I really like that style of rim. The HSV version is a bit chunky compared to the finer BBS spokes but I like them. I know I haven't seen the GTS specific wheel but I would forever see the triangles and hate them. With my E2 I didn't like the factory 19s but was too late changing the spec, so I sold those with 26km on the tyres and then put the W427 wheels on. I really like the 427 wheels and it makes my E2 a bit different. The guy at Zupps commented on the wheels and Walky spoiler when we were talking about the R8 SV so I'm not the only one who thinks it looks better.
