I realize there is quite a bit of information on this to search for, but I want to know from people who have m6 reps from **********s on how they have held up so far. And what tire sizes/rim offsets would you recommend for a non sp e90? I'm looking to get 19's, but I dont want it to rub at all. I'm sort of clueless when it comes to wheels and tires, so thanks

I had them for about 3 weeks now. I love them.
I get a lot of complements from strangers on the road.
The rims are doing fine. here are my specs:
front: 19x8.5 ET 35 tires 235/35/19 General Exclaim
rear: 19x9.5 ET 30 tires 265/30/19 General Exclaim

No rubbing at all. With sports package, people ask me if I dropped the car.
I have not. that is just the sports package.

For you, without sports package, you will have some gap.
The rims sit perfectly in that off set. No need for spacers.

Oh and I got mine from **********s.
My advice if you want to save $$$
get the rims from them, get the tires from tirerack.
have someone local do the mount and balance.

Hope that helps.

For pics, go to to the pics section and search on M6 rims.
lots of members have posted pics of the car on those rims. me included.

One more thing...
18s only come in silver. they don't look good imo.
get the 19s in gunmetal.

Thanks a lot! I love the way they look on ur car. I was originally considering 162's but too many people have them. do u ever worry about getting a flat though? because from ive seen, there are no 19 inch rft

Thanks, I'm really happy with the end result.
Yes I worry about that, but I'll get the tirerack kit or the mobility kit from BMW.

To this date we have not had one report of bending or paint defects with any of our M6 wheels. We have been extremely satisfied with the quality of these reps, far surpasses some of the models we have seen in the past.

[chrisiscool3360]

what the difference between the m6 replicas you sell and the ones from **********s?

I have had them on my car for a few weeks now and hit a section of road where they had stripped the pavement off and now have 2 bent rims. After having them road force balanced I can not really feel it in the steering wheel anymore, but it does bum me out that they bent so quickly.

Watch out for road hazards and pot holes!

With 19s and just a little rubber between the road and the rim, we just have to be more careful with those pot holes.
