**********s or anyone else still sell M6 rims in silver finish?

i.e. no anthracite or black "inserts" nor polish face. Just a solid silver m6 reps. I think I've seen a vendor like **********s carrying those but may be they were discontinued? Any help appreciated with a link.

i did, thanks, but as you see in your link they only offer Silver/Gunmetal - I want Silver/Silver. I did search a lot though since, and if it comes to MBs then the style is discontinued by Miro but I'm not aware if anyone is doing similar rep in all silver. (in their old sample pics, there is a tiag E46 330i from 46Fanatics forum and there they talk about the rim discontinued).

It's a shame, i hope they will re-launch it because this style is back in again on M models sans the gunmetal bit.

I photoshopped my car with them here. I think it looks friggin hot.

I saw M6 reps on a E38 yesterday and puked. I sell GM performance parts and he asked me if I could figure out why his A/C wasn't working. I complemented him on his E38 and I tried to help, but after talking with him (Complete stuck up douche talked down to me) I go your E38 needs work. He goes huh? Yeah well I just bought it. Why what do you drive, buddy? I point to the back corner of the parking lot, and say you aren't special because you have a beat up 2001 740i on cheap M6 reps. Fuck off we sell crate engines for Corvettes, we aren't some free repair shop. Trust me he deserved more.

OK sorry CSB I know.

M6 reps only look good on certain cars, E90's included.

i think M6 reps look better on E9x than on M6 itself actually. They do demand a good drop and decent brakes to pull off the look but design wise this split flowing 5 spoke concept is perfectly suited to the flame surfaces cars. And m6 wheels are not for the E38 lol.

They kind of remind me of 313s, just with wider spokes. I am a fan of the M6 reps on E9x

They do but they are even more similar to X6M rims that i've seen and the ones that are on the Z4 35is version. I actually don't like 313s at all, I think they are too "skinny". They don't photograph well though, I give that, as in real life they aren't too bad.

Yes, your absolutely correct as the M6 type 346 has been discontinued in the standard silver finish. However, we can custom powder coat the wheel for you in that finish specifically. Shoot me over a PM and I'll get you the details!

Yeah....it's funny because we always had more success with the silver / gunmetal finish because it's the closest to the OEM finish.

If you're liking it, I'd go custom powdercoat finish to any finish you want!

I found these on eBay - I think that's what you're looking for: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

I have no idea on the quality or the vendor, though. But saw them and remembered seeing your post.
