Both look great but, I prefer the lugs between the spokes on the 763.

That's precisely the thing I don't prefer. It's the same with the KL01 and P101. I like how the light catches the bigger hub on the KL11 and makes it look less busy.

Did any of you ever have issues with slight wheel vibration at a given speed when installing aftermarket wheels? I had my new wheels put on and balanced but i feel a tiny bit of vibration around 40-50... it's minor but I kind of feel it. Maybe it's just my head or maybe the newer lighter weight wheels would cause that. OEM wheels btw, no spacers, new tires etc... balanced and installed.

That vibration is not going to be the wheel. I've seen wheels that were bent to hell that the tire still balanced out. This is 100% an issue with your tire balance. Take it back to where you got them balanced and have them check it. They will usually do this for free (reputation) if it hasn't been too long, and if it has, you might have thrown a weight.

I have never had an issue, and I even specify that my wheel weights are placed as far AWAY from the spokes as possible (not how you're supposed to balance, as the best balance is always closest to the spokes), but it's still butter smooth up to 140.

Thanks, they did balance and said it was good to... I saw the weights were there, they are an aftermarket shop but perhaps they don't have the high end, high speed balancers.

FWIW, above 50, its bang on to 100... it just seems odd around 40-50... and quite minor.

I'd 100% have the balanced checked by another facility.

I mean that looks pretty sick... i just think the 763s are so sexy in their own right.

That seems to be the general feeling. Once I get the car dropped it'll look more correct for the tires.

To me, 19x10 with 275/30 and 19x11 with 295/30 is best for the car, visually, but it's a bit hard to do, and since this is my daily, I left it alone.

I'd like 285/35 at the rear 265/35 front but just a bit too tall, I came really close to buying 18's but just not possible with my AST suspension and it makes brake upgrades more expensive as well (I like the look of the Litchfield big brake kit)

I'm quite a fan of the race tyre look, I love 18's in many ways

I'm not really a fat tire guy (unless we're talking 911 with Ruf wheels), and much prefer skinny and wide over that look in general (not too skinny, more athletic). However, I really like the look of 18's on the M2, and since I've always liked the FL-5 I'll probably go that route at some point.

I prefer the look on your car, I'd just add a prettier tire, the PS4S is a bit of an ugly duckling, but it works well. If I had a Porsche like yours it'd wear Trofeo's.

I'm not the biggest fan of the 763M, although they are still beautiful wheels. I'd take those by a mile and a half. If it could run a more aggressive tire set up that would've been nice.

I'm running a 265/285 on my 18's & I like the extra tire.

They're still a solid 8 or 9/10 in my book. They're lovely. The other wheels I'd rate a 5-6 imo.

At the moment Porsche on Cup2 N1’s and M2 Original MPSS, I’m thinking about sticking with MPSS on the M2, possibly going to Cup2’s a bit nervous about the feel of PS4S and the softer side walls. I’m very happy with the feel of the M2, I’d be happy to add a smidgen more weight to the steering and if I have the cash I’d like to add roll bars at some point. Treofeos are supposed to be superb on the GT3, stupidly I decided to stick to Cup2’s based on the tyre life after replacing the old cups because of age !

Very happy to report that I had BMW Road Force balance my wheels and do an alignment...

So far up to 90 MPH it is perfect and buttery smooth... apparently the weights were off 30-45G.

I noticed one wheel has one less weight on the outside than the other, I presume this can be normal? thx

Every tire usually has a different number of weights to balance it to the wheel. Some take none at all, some just one, some more than 8.

My last set of Lotus wheels with Nitto NT01's had 3 tires that balanced perfectly with no weights, and one took 1 weight. First time in history for me, and super rare.

I will say that the better the wheels, and the more expensive the tires, **usually* there is a lot less weight added.
