M6 Style Replica Rims Recommendations?
I am a big fan of M6 style rims on my E92. Unfortunately, I damaged my current ones and looking for a replacement. Genuine OEM M6 rims are rare and expensive. I want to avoid buying used.
Does anyone know any reputable M6 replicas and where to buy them? I am looking specifically and only for this style (silver, gunmetal, not black), 19" in size:

Are your damaged wheels OEM? How damaged are they? If it's curbing, they can be repaired. I was quoted about $130/wheel to strip, paint and machine surface the faces on a set of 437Ms by a local wheel repair shop.

I was having steering vibrations at 60+mph, thought they were unbalanced and went to the tire shop for balancing. When they tried to balance, they found that two rims have "flat spots" and could not be balanced. Sounded like an unfixable damage.

In most cases, they can be made round again. Hell, I "fixed" a bent OEM Style 193 back to within balance myself. Whether it's worth the trouble and cost on rep wheels, that's a whole other question.
Instead of poor quality reps, and if you can't find the OEM M6 wheels, I'd recommend OEM Style 437Ms. Similar in style to the M6 wheels, 19", good width and offset for the E9x chassis and, most importantly, forged...meaning light and strong, unlike any rep. They come up for sale pretty often on the F30/F80 M3/M4 classifieds. |
