I really don’t like those wheels.
Look very dated IMO.

Looks way better than the new wheels. "Grow on you" is not something I want when the previous version was so much better

Agreed, because they are dated... much prefer the 788Ms over these.

The 437M's suit the M2 nicely, simple design yet great looking wheels, just like the car itself. Also a nice little nod to the outgoing M2. The new 788M's look more like luxury wheels than performance wheels IMO. All subjective of course. And the 437M's weigh less.

Agreed. That's crazy, right? Always loved these wheels and now I see them on the Comp and they look dated. Go figure

Here's mine. I have winters on those now... Hoping to find some 788Ms for the summer.
Most people I speak to prefer the 437M.

437M just don't look right on M2C for some reason, looked good on OG M2.

It looks better than I had expected. I’m deciding between 437, 788, and 763. Informal polling of friends and family is evenly split between the three. So no help there. Currently using 641s in satin black for winter. They resemble the 437 but not as concave

I agree that the 437s look better (and lighter) than the 788s, but it just feels like "going backwards" (downgrading, in a sense) to me. If I were to ever get different wheels, then the 763s would be the obvious choice for me. It looks "the best" and it's the lightest...oh, and it would feel like an upgrade too.

...just my thoughts (not trying to start a battle or insult anyone)

Various opinions. That's why it is good to have several options

763 for unsprung weight reduction!

Funny how 437M look ‘dated’ when the 788M is based on a BBS design that’s been around since forever. Retro futurist or whatever it is. I like the 788 for that reason, but I still love the 437 as well.
