Why no 21" Option?

They should be stock but why doesn't BMW offer a 21" wheel option for the M8? The 20's look ok but 21's would look so much better.

I’m going to guess something to do with wheel warranties with the shorter sidewalls on a 21?

I don't think that's it as MB offers them on the SL and even Lexus offers them on the LC500. Come on BMW, WTF?

And they're offered on the B8 GC . . .

Porsche also offers them as do others

One of the older OG reviews had commented on it Ill try to dig it up. But it stated was due to performance with grip for the track. More side wall allows for better grip and better ride, so my guess it was that combo they decided on.

Doesn’t Audi have 22’s on the RS6 and RS7 ? Reviewers have even said the ride to be great on those models.
