They are selling used for 7K, I think I picked up the last set.

If you know who to talk to you can get them for $7K any day of the week. Of course, they won't be available in Diamond Black, as it's a USA finish, but the black and platinum will be available at that price for sure.

If I remember correctly, when I weighed my 18' cast OEM wheels for the 135i, with run flat tires, they were 41lbs; over 50lbs for forged, M2C wheels is not ideal IMHO but it's still not the end of the world..

The more important question is... how are the 763M winning this poll?

(The 763Ms are very nice wheels though...)

They're cheaper. If price was the same the FI-R would be winning.

The real question is; if the price, and the weight were the same, which one would winning...

Because the FI-R don't fit well. Other than that small problem they're perfect in my opinion.

Are they a direct fit with no modifications needed?

Do you 'do' this? . . . rhetorical question.

I never understood why any dealership would think any purchaser would want their (free) advertising decal plastered to the back of the car . . . or why any purchaser would accept a car with the decal present?

P.S. This was taken right off the Car Max website, so I am not exposing anyone with license plate.

Yes, direct fit with no modifications. But there are 2 different sizes of tires that came on that wheel, so best to choose the 255/35 & 285/30.

Not much at all IIRC. Negligible. Effectively .1" in the front and .25" in the rear, so 1.6 mph at 70 at worst I think.
