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.
I'm with you. When we first started doing track days many many years ago with the BMW club people would bring along crappy old wheels and worn out tyres in the boot. It was just as much fun (maybe more) and it was a way to save money and have fun.

Then things all started to change. Slicks, fancy brakes, coil overs. Eventually people modded their cars so much they started arriving with trailers as the cars were undriveable on the road. The egos were also out of control. And the fun was no more.

That's when I lost interest.

Would be nice to have "track days" like they have in the UK. No timing. Just fun. Ours were taken over by Motorsport bodies, attended by would by would be racing drivers, scrutineered by the type of people that get thrills from pulling wings off flies. There would be great market here for people that would just like to have a bit of fun every now and then.

This.

And to be honest, for the normal driver a set of lighter wheels/tires isn't going to make much difference in times, and as you say, 0 difference in fun.

I DK what you are thinking we are about, but all the HPDE events I've attended were "no timing. Just fun [well, with a big helping of instruction in how to drive better]". I noticed lighter wheels on my 228, even on the street, so it is a real factor for driving feel and not just FTD. And I've never damaged a wheel at a track event, unless you consider caking them with 5# of tire worms and brake dust.

Does anyone know if there is a difference in color between the 763M Performance and the 763M CS rims?

I asked my deler in Norway for a complete set of the 19" 763m's in Frozen gold for my 2017 M2.

They asked 54653 NOK, which is 6385 us dollars.

That's supposedly with the 15% discount for us members of BMW Car Club Norway, and without tires.

Quite the difference from the prices I'm seeing here!

Very similar to AU, the Americans get it good with the prices

Black Set with tyres - $9,300 AUD
Gold Set with tyres - $10,300 AUD
Black Set no tyres - $8,300 AUD

Shopping international makes sense for these

I believe the M performance are a matte black while the CS wheels are gloss black. At least for the thirty seconds before they accumulate brake dust.

I meant: "difference in color between the Matt gold Performance and Matt gold CS ones"

There is no color difference on the gold rims between the CS and the M Perf version. The only difference is the M Performance stamp on the lip of the wheel.

Thanks a lot.
This has kept us busy for a while, together with some friends, as we were unable to view both types side by side and with identical lighting conditions.
We also note that the price of the 763M CS rims here in Europe is lower than the same ones with the Performance stamp.

The original gold was different IIRC, much more gold, not as silver/frozen, but they have since changed it.

Isn't that right Artemis ? I think he made a post about it before.

It's the same. I've had M Performance Gold wheels here too.

Perhaps there's a slight difference from batch to batch, or lightning is playing a big effect on how the pics show the color.

M Performance Parts 763M wheels: "Frozen Gold" - featuring "M Performance Parts" logo embossed near the valve stems (supplied with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup2 tires):

I did not see yet the wheels side-by-side, but to my understanding the finish is the same.

I think they are pretty good batch to batch, I was thinking of a much older set that I saw (official BMW).

Thanks for the reply. I was thinking of a much older post, could have been from the M3/M4 board, but it was definitely a BMW 763M (with logo), factory gold, darker, and little to no silver in it. Maybe the pic was altered, or it was the lighting.

I'm now thinking it was this grey car that I saw, but looking at different angles of it you can tell it's just the light making them look different.

The last pic is Frozen Gold too, and yeah, if I can get a set like that I'm THERE!!!

I skimmed through this thread. Is there a definitive place to get these gold wheels with the tire pressure monitor for a decent price in the US?? So far everything I'm finding is around $5000 USD for wheels or just under 7000 USD for wheels/tires.

BMW parts worldwide .com is selling the set for $3500. You can buy TPMS from various places for $35 a piece if you don't mind non OEM.
