New M6 Needs some wheels and your opinions
Hey guys I still am working on my project 335i but yesterday my Father picked up a M6 Convertable (Alpine white / black leather / SMG / Carbon Trim) and Im looking for the "perfect" set of rims for it. After looking at a TON of pics I think they have to be one of the following:
20", 1 Pc, Forged, Full Face (like a BBS CH or Neez)
or
21", 3 Pc, Forged, (like any DPE, HRE, Ect)
Problem Im having is one I dont know any company besides HRE and Neez that make 1pc forged wheels and HRE isnt making their monoblock series for BMWs yet.
2nd issue is 21s are a weird size ... who else besides HRE makes 21" wheels?

Contact Ben at wheelsboutique for the best solution...... wheelB on this foum
21" looks amazing on a M6....any manufacture that produces 2/3 piece wheels can have 21" made without a problem so its really design and choice

We recently installed a set of the new 597R's in 21". Fits fantastic and lowered it without any rubbing.

Thanks guys for all the replys! ... I looked at doing a matching set of DPE ST-7s on the car like I have on my 335i but DPE doesnt offer their wheels in 21" fitment. iForged doesnt eaither and HREs from quotes I got when shopping for my 335i wheels seem to be a tad bit out of budget.
I was thinking maybe some Neez:
Any thoughts on these? I figure since they are 1 pc forged and weight in at around 20lbs each they wouldnt hurt performance and they still would look like a 21" wheel since they are full face.

Take a peek at the Modulare Wheel line.... they make some good looking 21s...
As for ride comfort with 21s, one of our 6ers has 20s and he other has 21s and honestly cannot tell the ride diff between the two cars.
