clingman88 · 11-26-2006, 07:00 PM

Hi, i have a alpine white 07 335i and was planning to put some 18" or 19" M6 replica rims on but iam concerned about the performance and quality of replica rims. I have read that replica rims are to soft and really heavy which leads to bad performance is this true? and which M6 replica rims would you guys suggest that has good quality. Thanks for your time.

if you get them in 19" and put regular tires on it I bet its close to the weight of the stock 18's. I dont think it will be a major difference.

Replicas are cheap ,non-balanced and not durable wheels. Using then on BMW is a waste of your car.

I'd love the M6 replica ones as they are awesone but i wouldn't risk it

Hi Panoz,
I have read all 10 pages and there are so many peopel wanting to know what was the mods that was done to fit these wheels and I do not see any answer. Is it a secret?

There are many M6 wheels out in the market today. However, not all of them are manufactured the same. The most popular M6 wheel mold to date is the type 346 that we carry. It utilizes the same low pressure casting method that BMW uses on their OEM wheels straight from the factory. The M6 type 346 style wheels are manufactured to meet the HIGHEST performance, quality, and safety standards in the industry. The wheel passes JWL and VIA standards to ensure the highest level of safety and quality. I'll shoot you over a PM with more details. Here are some pictures for you to check out in the mean time!

I had m6 wheels on my e46 330ci nothing but problems i spent 1800 with nitto nt555 tires and i had to get them road force balanced every other week cause it would shake above 60 mph, keep in mind i have the ZHP version and those wheels were a joke! I must of spent atleast 3500 between the wheels tires and roadforce balanacing also had to get my control arm bushings replace! I will never buy reps anymore only OEM!

Alan,
Can you PM on 19" M6 replicas staggered for my 2011 M3 convertible?
I'm also looking for Spacers too that would be installed with these tires. But not sure exactly the measurement I will need to obtain a flush look WITHOUT rubbing.
