I guess I'm going to have to go with an F8x BMW wheel set, but they sure are pricey...like the 763Ms.
Yeah, OEM wheels seem like the only option right now, but expect to pay close to $1k/wheel.

That said, Apex may have something for us down the road. You might want to keep an eye on this thread:

My short-term solution may be to run AX tires on my 788s, and set the Michelins aside for now.

That’s my guess as well. I checked the recent Fastracks last night, and found no mention of the M2C. I think it’s still too new. Now might be the time to drop an email to SAC if you have any thoughts on the subject. Considering that the base M2 came within a cat’s whisker of taking first place in BS at nats this year, I don’t think the M2C will end up in BS.

That’s the dilemma. Check this thread for guidance on that front:

It is kind of a bummer that Bridgestone doesn’t make the RE-71R in a 30-profile 19. The only tire even worth considering in the sizes you mention is the PS4S.
