M6 Reps Ride Quality

NJE93M3 · 08-04-2008, 10:17 AM

For those of you with the Miro M6 Reps, have any of you noticed an extremely unstable ride around 80mph???

I brought the wheels into BMW and they said they were perfectly balanced, however the wheels did not have center spacers. I'm hoping thats the issue but just wondering if anyone else had this problem???

Not here, I've taken mine to about 100 with no problems in ride stability

Mine have gone up to 155 and I haven't noticed anything.

Check your air pressure ... that may help

i noticed that in my old car when i had a bent rim

good idea on checking the tire pressure. I just brought the car into BMW and they said it was perfectly balanced, so not sure if it could be a bent rim cause i literly just got the wheels.

I have not had any issue with my M6 reps. up to 110 has been stable. Anything is better than RFT!

NJE93M3 · 08-04-2008, 01:52 PM

yep i didnt get the RFT either...not sure what this could be.

If a wheel was bent, then wouldnt the wheels not balance out???

BMW told me it could possibly be a bad tire...not sure how that works.

All our customers have been very happy. Honestly, the tires make a very big difference - the wheels make little or no difference - unless they are bent or out of balance.

you can balance a bent rim. it will still shake like hell at speed as the wheel isnt round.

i hope it isnt a bent rim...i literely just put these wheels on my car and have not hit any huge pot holes at all.

Is there a way to confirm if a wheel is bent or not??

Also I knew that tires made a huge difference...thats why I put the package together with the Bridgestone REO50A tires.

Up to 125 with no issues. If the wheels "are" balanced and it's not a bent rim it could be that the wheels were not properly torqued on and/or slightly askew. I would take each one off and put it back on making sure you screw on the lugs in a star patten and torque them properly.
