I actually love this wheel. It’s def heavy so my summer set will likely be a sexier 763m style like titan but overall if I had the choice of the current bimmer offerings I’d have chosen these

Doesn't fit the style of the car, or the concept. A complete fail on BMW's part.

Well, I guess I'm the

Both my wife and I like them.

And replacement wheels?

Ouch.

What am I missing here regarding kicking them to the curb and replacing with BBS?

(Because honestly? If "everyone" is swapping them out, I'll pick up a spare set on the cheap for winter wheels!)

I don't love the two-tone and the details like the notches in the spokes, but I think they look pretty good. It's hard to go wrong with mesh style on a BMW

I don't think they're too bad. Definitely prefer the 437m, even more so in a single color.

Super annoying to clean properly. Not getting BBS either.

Wheels are pretty subjective, but IMHO:

763M > 437M > 788M

That seems to be the general consensus. It's too bad that the 763M is heavier, more expensive, and harder to come by than the 437M.

763M are actually the lightest of the three. Weights were posted elsewhere on this forum. 788M is the heaviest option. All forged.

As I just heard from my mate(also forummember) when he ordered OEM original 763 for his M2C it stated Taiwan Asia.
Not kidding.

@Karmicman, I had my page open for minutes so I did not see/read your post, but agreed lol.

Interesting, thanks for the correction. They're all stupid heavy IMO, but then again, I'm used to dealing with Lotus wheels.

I spent more time cleaning these wheels then detailing the car's exterior, a bit exaggerating but you get the point. It's a pretty crappy design, I know mesh style supposed to go well with any M car but these aint, the E92 M359 looks 100 times better even thats a 10 years old design. Disappointed and they're so damn heavy

I think the 437m is the ugliest of them all. I get they are lighter, but they make the M2C look dated in my opinion. 763M are definitely the most appealing.
