You bought a winter set of 763s or a different wheel?

You're not wrong. Unfortunately nobody is touching Brian's old prices who used to sell sets on his ebay store for $2950 free shipping. Tells you how big the margins are on these wheels.

Where are the Richlands made at?

I believe both genuine 763s and richland forged are made in Taiwan.

Certain OE Ferrari wheels are also made by the same company in Taiwan

Yeah OEM CS are from Taiwan (actually a lot of good metal manufacturing comes from there, high end exhausts, wheels and such)

In that case I’d prob go for Richlands and get the custom offset

I don't blame you for wanting the CS wheels. The only 763 in gloss black.

The black gloss looks great on those wheels

Is there a tutorial, wiki, etc. that runs through all the OEM tire options, weight, specs, etc.?

I really like the 763M but want to make sure it’s a net neutral / net positive performance wise before picking them up, and if they’re the same dimensions and I can just swap tires that would be helpful.

Also what are the stock M2C OEM wheels going for?

Yes, they are identical to the original wheels size and offset wise (437,788)

19x9 +29
19x10 +40

https://bimmertips.com/oem-bmw-f87-m...l-style-specs/

Here is a link for you to reference, out of the 3 sets of OEM wheels available for the M2, the 763M are definitely the lightest.

Manny01 · 02-14-2021, 06:43 PM

Interesting. Why did BMW mount heavier and less attractive (I know, subject) wheels on the M2C?

It's a BMW trademark. They did it as well on the F80 with the 666M (513M best F80 wheel).

Here in EU 437s are a no cost option which I ticked and now those are the track wheels and the 763s are for the hoes.

Wow, we will have identical shoes for our cars, my 763s will be the daily wheel and the 437s with stickier rubber are for the track

I had to wait a few weeks to receive them.

Hi, can I kindly request for the contact as well

Thank you

Why would you use the light wheels for the hoes and the heavy ones for the track? I'm planning the opposite - lightest for track days, heavy ones can be for the wraparound months with all seasons.

You know why; it's hard for most to beat up expensive wheels. I cringe every time I see a set of HRE's or FI-R's being tracked, but that's because I'm not a person of means. That's literally what they're intended for, so hell yeah, light is right for the track.

Maynard · 03-02-2021, 11:47 AM

My OCD goes the other direction - I get antsy thinking about trying to get brake dust off of the 437s.

Really? So easy compared to my original Lotus wheels.

You have your priorities straight

I don't think 437s are that much heavier than 763s and I'm not racing for money on TDs, more for fun. With the heat cycles and wear/tear on track wheels it just makes more financial sense for me..and the hoes

Maynard · 03-02-2021, 02:42 PM

I'd heard they judge you by your shoes - didn't realize this extended to eh car 'shoes' too
