Just a word of caution to those buying the 763M wheels in ANY finish, make sure you check the wheels thoroughly when you get them, don't just have them mounted. I recently purchased a set (new, from BMW) and 2 of the wheels had issues. These wheels have been made for years, so it's highly likely you'll get different dates of manufacture on them (as I did), and different degrees of matte and semi-gloss as a result.
Evan at Getbmwparts.com took care of me on them, but it's worth noting that issues are possible, so take the time to check them thoroughly. Last edited by VisualEcho; 05-06-2021 at 08:12 PM.. |

I know this is an old post, but wanted to chime in here. Found some 763M for dirt cheap - ~$1400. I knew this deal was too good to be true, and upon closer inspection, I'm pretty sure they were replicas. To the seller's credit, they never mentioned "OEM", just said "763M styled".
But man did they look legit. The things that threw me off were the offsets and dimensions of the wheels. I believe OEM only comes in 19x9 and 19x10's. The ones I found came in 19x9.5 and 19x10.5. Also no stamping on the outer edges, only on the inside of the spokes. |

Yes, you're correct. 19x8.5 and 19.9.5's, my bad.

You ended repainting/powder coating anyway, did this solve all your issues? I know you moved on anyway, but curious if I have anything else to look out for. I'm so back and forth I drive myself crazy! |

The 763M is a forged wheel, yes, but SAI does a terrible job on the finish. I've now seen several sets and many times they don't match (all finishes have this problem), and they have issues with the paint. Mine had dirt in the paint here and there, and what looked like issues with the metal in spots, but turned out to be in the paint. Everything was corrected with powder coating. |

And let me say with clarity that Evan at getbmwparts.com went the extra mile to make sure my set was perfect in the end, and he did it for a friend of mine as well. If you're going to buy 763M's, get them from Evan, he will take care of you by checking them to make sure they match before they ever ship. Great dude. Oh, and the best part? They also have the best price. |

I got my gold set from him last fall. I didn't notice any issues, but I'm not as much of a perfectionist as VisualEcho (I did put them on myself though. ) |
