I wanted to share my latest mod, which was to add some 763m ///M Performance Wheels which I had powder coated bright silver metallic by Alloy Wheel Repair Specialists. Originally these were a set of matte black wheels ordered as part of the Summer Performance Tire set you could order at the Dealership that came with 4 staggered 763m Wheels/TPMS sensors/4 Michelin Sport Cup2 tires mounted, balanced and ready to install.

I really loved the design of the 763m wheels and preferred them, but not the new price of $6,OOO. My friend had purchased this set and no longer owned his M2C so I got a deal on them which was pretty fortunate. As much as I loved the finish on the Matte Black wheels, they just seemed to disappear into the wheel well which I felt was a shame. I didn't think the frozen gold looked right with the Alpine White and no other color options, other than gloss black or gray, were available.

I asked my friends at Alloy Wheel Repair for a quote to completely strip and powder coat the entire wheel, which was $165ea. This included all the work on the wheels, removing and installing the TPMS sensors and then mounting and balancing the new Michelin PS4S's I had ordered in 255/275 sizes. I felt this was pretty darn fair and only took them 3 days from drop off to pickup. I am very happy with the results. Here are a few pictures.

Looks nice! How do they deal with the mlogo sticker do you just order an extra set?

Wheels look great! Is that a stock suspension?

For the money spent the look is much improved in my opinion. I say well done.

Welcome to the silver 763m club!

They should exist like this instead of black and gold

Thanks for the reminder, I forgot to mention that they offered to install new ones or hand me 4 new ones for me to install. There was no additional charge for the 4ea. ///M stickers which I thought was an additional bonus. I just took them and installed them myself.

Yes, I have the stock suspension on the car. I have a set of gently used Ground Control Camber Plates I am looking at installing, but am looking at options for either lowering springs or coil overs and will install all at once. I don't want much of a drop, and don't want to sacrifice compliance for aesthetics. It already rides fairly rough, but its totally livable. Lots of options, just need to narrow it down.

Thanks!! I had $2,200 in the used wheels and TPMS sensors and another $700 to Powder Coat. I don't feel that was too crazy as they are pretty expensive from the dealership, and not in a color I wanted. Add another $1,180 (after rebates and discounts from Discount Tire Direct) for the 255/275-19 Michelin PS4S tires and I still feel good about $4,080 all in.

Absolutely. There is usually no way to escape $3500 for decent wheels for this car, add in the $1300 usual PS4S, aftermarket TPMS and M&B and you're at $5050, so you did well IMO.

I purchased my current set-up used and still have double that in them.

idk what it is, but the bright silver on stock suspension....they almost look like 18s or something even though they are 19s...

Somewhat agree, but could be b/c of the bigger tires he's running? Optical illusion maybe.

I think I figured it out. I think that inner lip is just very prominent when the wheel is a lighter color. Happens with the gold too. It disappears more with the black and orbit grey.

maybe also would benefit from some spacers.
