Poll: Style 343M vs 601M
I'll be placing my order soon. Most people seem to dislike the 601M, but they are def going to be more unique.
Car will be Imperial Blue, Silverstone Full interior, with Comp Pak (etc). So -- opt for the 20" 343M or go for the 601M? I'm planning, so far, to stay stock with this car. Let's see how that goes.. It didn't work that well with my E60. |

I think I'm skipping 2014, but if I ordered one I'd def go with 343M. I think the other wheel (601M) looks shit, and not just any shit, generic shit.

Im assuming the 601M are the competition wheels, personally I find them terrible on the M5, they look like the wheels they just put on the regular W204 C class. But thats just me.

I went 601Ms... I like them, even if most don't.
Take note that a lot of the people who don't like them didn't have the option for them when they bought their '13s, and so have the 343s. However, if you look at the people who have posted up their 2014 orders, about 60% of the people getting the comp pack are going 601m -- I guess not that many potential buyers really hate them. My thought was that BMW doesnt really have a lot of thin seven spoke rims, so they are a bit unique to the brand(only in competition package cars for now)... I also like the wider wheel, even if its only a half an inch. The 343Ms are currently available as an option on any M5/M6/M6GC, and from a distance, the 343Ms look alot like the 300Ms on the X5M/X6M Of course, I prefer the base model M6GC wheels most all and would have put them on my M5 if I could have, but then maybe I have weird taste in wheels.

I have a 2014 on order and chose 343M because design is more appealing to me. 601M just looks too vanilla...but a lot of people like vanallia:lol
Unscientific poll of my 2 teenaged car-crazed boys says 1)GC wheel 2)343M 3)601M |

For my 2014 order, I'm going with the 601M. I'm not crazy about them, but I think I like them for simply being different than the stock (non-19") wheels (i.e. more unique). Also, they are wider. Some pictures reveal more concavity than others:

I don't know. At first I was against them but the more pics I see I think there is some contour to the wheel and it is really growing on me. I think it may look even more striking in person. Right now there are very few photos to go on so it will be interesting.
