New alloys

Hi everyone

I've got the 19 inch m sport alloys on mine and was never really happy with the size so now I need a new set of run flats at 800 quid or so I'm considering getting new 20 inch alloys and non run flats

Spotted these but never had replica wheels before, the OEM ones apparently don't fit ( don't know why, didn't think the M6 had flared arches ??? )

So considering these with non run flat rubber

any ideas on the OEM ones and why they don't fit ??

Those replicas do look nice ..... Only thing I'd say is the fact that they are 'replicas' is a bit mmmmmmmm.... Not sure.

Read some threads on here before saying how the genuine M6 alloys won't fit

What you can do is buy all four fronts OEM, and run 255/35/20 in the front and 285/30/20 on the rear.

Another option is buying the OEM M5 wheels and run 255/35 in the front and 285/30 in the rear.

OEM 433M's off the M6 will definitely not fit the 6 Series, trust me I have done a lot of research into this. They have a completely wrong off-set.

I would stay away from replica's also as heard some horror stories and they won't last as long as OEM's.

Go for a third party vendor like Vossen.
