I'm getting the 261M wheels because I'm in Canada and like them much more than the wheels you guys get in the US but I've seen the performance wheels in person as well and they are even better than the 261's.

I was very hot for the Performance wheels at first, but the 261Ms are looking better now, IMO.

I think the price on the 261Ms is just too high. If they were less than the performance wheels it would be a tough decision, but not if they're a couple hundred more (and they seem to be). Hey, if you're in Canada you should offer to let BMW give the you cheaper performance wheel instead of the 261M. That's the pricing logic.
