Aram, thanks for the pics!
I think i am going to go this route. either the 433 or 343s. Is there any chance to put thinner wheels on the back? You know, the same as the front?!?

You mean tires? I think u can't bc i was going to buy just the wheels and use the Dunlop tires but then i was told the suggested tires dimension was the one from MICHELIN.

Sorry, I meant thinner (less wide) rims, you know, like putting the same width as the front rims on the back? I did notice the M6 GC wheel wells do stick out a little (probably why the rear 433s can be wider, probably need wider wheels to accommodate the power/speed of M6!)

I just hope it doesn't get stolen again. I suspect a pass-by BMW owner was stalking it for a while to steal it.

I purchase the,M6 coupe rear spoiler for my GC from the dealer for $350. Plus $100. To paint and install. This is in south FL. Shouldn't cost that much for that spoiler.

As for tire comparison, I noticed that the Michelin are far BETTER because the car felt a lot comfortable on road and pot holes. Also these stick to the road like glue for grip!

And before the change, i ran over (6) Dunlop tires replaced due to side wall bubbles with the 356 wheel styles. Worst tire i ever had. There's a whole forum about these tires. Everyone is getting side wall bubbles.

Thanks for reply Aram. I am going to the same route now. I thought about HRE, but the stunning looking and better price of 433 wheels just growing on me. BTW, can you upload some detailed looking of the rims on your car? Ah... is your car lowered? I am going to lower my car not sure will this be a concern or not.

Awesome car with that spoiler, and I love the M6 rims on this car. You're tempting me…

Btw, I got the Continental mobility kit from Tire Rack to be my safety net if I get a flat (I recently replaced my OEM RFT Dunlops with the non-RFT Dunlops).

I will upload some more photographs! My car is not lowered and i don't think i would recommend lowering. There isn't a lot of free room.

I just drove to Connecticut from NYC to a friend house to see Pacquiao fight and the tire rub off the lower area 2 times. Its very concerning. I will need to plan ahead before taking passenger. Not sure if M6GC owner are having the same experience.

BTW! I have gotten so many compliments with this wheels.

Thanks. Good thing you replace the Dunlop tires! They are a money pit.

Funny, that my post didn't get any response, but apparently 433s on the 640/650 GC is a hot topic for some and we are talking about it here. Maybe because M6 owners don't like the idea of it? Haha. Well, M6 badges and double kidney grill are off limits of course, but rims are fair game I say!!! I am deciding between 433 or 343s. The extra wide rear 433s must not fit the rear well, like I said, M6 is a bit wider....can anyone confirm this?

Wait, i forgot people DID reply to my initial thread! Check out "M6 Wheels on 640 GC" looks like it doesn't quite fit...which is why Aram is having issues with the extra weight!

Thanks Aram. Cannot wait to see the pictures and then I can make my decision to purchase the 433s..the only issue I am worry about is the rubbing problem. Toronto roads are kind of crapy.

The rubbing issues only happens when you have 2 back passengers above 200+ pounds. Anything below that the rubbing doesn't happened. And only when the car bounces while driving due to uneven road. Its a just a quick rub sound and that's it. Drove 55 miles yesterday night and only happened (3) times.

As for wheel choice, the 433 are for me better looking than 343 wheels and more aggressive. I just see to many people with 343 wheels. I saw a few 3,5,6 series with then and (1)Honda with replica 343 wheels.

You should be fine as long you don't take heavy passengers in the back seats.

When passenger get inside back seat tires to the plastic/fabric area is only a inch close to the rubbing area.

That is cheap and i guess you had some type of Hefty discount. When i bought mine it was much more than that.

My brother called off the photo-shoot. Here are some great iPhone photos.

Nice stance, how much does it stick out in front?

These are the stock M6 GC wheels. You do not need spare tire as long as you have the Mobility system is coming with M6. you need to purchase it. you can find the information in M6 User's manual page 158.
I also had the same problem you mentioned about Dunlop tires in my previous 650i and when I contacted the manufacturer they accepted to replace all 4 but since this tire is defective, they replaced by Bridgestone tires!

They don't stick out as much as the rear.

Is there any issues with front ones, because it it turning wheel, really worry about it.

[wzj519]

It looks very aggressive on pictures.

Since I have the same size of wheels on my M6, I would say the steering wheel is heavier than 650i but it can be because of different suspension as well. Anyways, with wider wheels you would experience the better traction!
