M6 Rims?

Shocker · 04-18-2008, 02:10 PM

Its sic looking! I am also going to be doing this once my car arrives.

MakoBimmer1 · 04-18-2008, 02:14 PM

Yikes....Im not feeling the offsets...almost a little too "hooptee ghetto" looking and just HEAVY. I like M6 rims though, obviously!

If it makes you happy, then all is good!

I wanted to do that but CSL for me. The rotors look so small you need a BBK :P. Im sure that its really nice in real life but the rims look so massive and heavy.

Gary@TireRack · 04-18-2008, 02:18 PM

Rear looks outstanding. I love that stance.

Not sure on the front. I'd need a straight on front view. It looks like it sticks out pretty far but I might be wrong.

1sick · 04-18-2008, 02:20 PM

I rather stick with the stock rims :thumbup:

asv · 04-18-2008, 02:26 PM

Just don't ever try to lower your car.

sredish · 04-18-2008, 02:28 PM

those sizes look perfect on that car, and I like those wheels, they're just a tad big. can you give us the full tire sizes? 275s might be the ticket with the right 18" wheel.

Less rubber means less rubbing correct?

Imola.ZHP · 04-18-2008, 02:33 PM

NICE!!!!!!!

Concern, with the wheel/tire slightly out from the fender, will she be slinging water and dirt all over your white 1er?

Like in a bad way?

Looks mean as hail though! I really like it!

More info on what offsets

M3_Dust · 04-18-2008, 02:53 PM

they look good on the car but you need to shave a lot more than 3mm to get the offsets correct

Fl0rent · 04-18-2008, 03:19 PM

I did the same...on black

Replica.

8x18" ET40 in front
9x18" ET43 in rear

peppebmw · 04-18-2008, 03:41 PM

Impressive, most impressive!

Robert · 04-18-2008, 03:43 PM

Looks really good, but I already have a set of 5 spoke stock, so I am going for the CSL reps - going to be just as a popular mod as m6 rep for the price and appearance.

redwood · 04-18-2008, 03:57 PM

M6 style rims are great, but those are too wide. I'm not a fan of the look.

ansun · 04-18-2008, 04:32 PM

The front is 235/35 on 19s
The rear is 265/30 on 19s

We are going to trim the wheel 3mm and it should be a perfect fit. I have my stock back on now and it just looks dare I say..."ugly"???

If the 265s dont work in the back we will end up doing 245. But i think it will work even with 3mm cut. Will have updated pics up next week.

Berduderunner · 04-18-2008, 04:54 PM

honestly i thought i would but i dont like it. maybe its the color or something idn.

ansun · 04-18-2008, 05:02 PM

The gray of the M6 rim inner lip area matches the gray of the brake calipers. Looks really sharp. I didnt get a good shot of this...but the letters "BMW" on the calipers really stand out. I know people have been trying to get calipers with BMW on them for a long time now.

Crowley · 04-18-2008, 05:18 PM

Rears look good .... fronts need to be smaller ...

Thanks for the pics ..
