I know you are probably looking for aftermarket options but I have always loved how concave the standard 437m wheels are:

Like the above posted, the OEM wheels are super concave and look great. Spending money on aftermarket wheels for this car is just an exercise in throwing out money. The OEM wheels are forged and pretty light. Don't get me wrong, a set of wheels really makes the car, but on the M2 BMW gave us something great. Anything besides a set of wheels that is going to cost you upwards of 5 grand is only going to hurt performance, but the car will look good as you are being past, lol.

You're joking right? The only part concave on those wheels are where the lug nuts bolt in, not the best example of a concave wheel.

I also can't be the only one who thinks those wheels are hideous.

I just think the fact that they're named 666 and with that design, is hilarious

+1, not my first choice in wheels, probably not even the last.

This.

We got extremely lucky and were given great looking high quality wheels right out of the box. Unless you're getting something really fancy like HRE's or BBS's I wouldn't bother.

Can't say the same about the M2C and the 788M's that NA owners are stuck with though...

not sure there is a single person in the real world aside from fanboys who think they look good. BMW has completely lost their mind when it comes to new wheel designs.

Ok here's a contribution. Keeping in mind, OP, you need a lot of tire and the M2 doesn't really support the offsets needed for a crazy concave look achievable on the 3/4er

V-FF 106 (20" but available in 19 for better fitment)

+1 .. unless of course he's a US customer ordering an M2C and is stuck with the hideous and flat faced 788M's Although, that said, getting lighter wheels is always a good investment as it really improves handling fun-factor.

Took the words right out of my mouth. Does not suit the M2 at all.

Its weird but in my opinion the M2 is a car that it is somehow hard to make look good with another wheel than the standard.

An opposite example is the e92 which made a really good car to get custom wheels for.

I know it's weird

Not sure if it's the color or the car or the camera angles or the quality of the photos but they looks good on the white car and like ballsack on the black one.
