Different wheels would work better IMO. Your car deserves some nice 3 piece forged Concave 21's. Not trying to be mean, but your car should have sick wheels on it. Like the drop. Go big, it will be sick. Your rims are fine now but look on the f10 forum and you will get what I am talking about and I think it would be even a better look on the 6.

Peace

BD,

If you receive your coupe next week, would you please let me know?

To the thread question, eager to learn what impact the lowering had on your ride and handling. Your car looks good lowered, but friends have created some nightmares by changing suspension architecture. Did the lowering your pictures show all come from the wheel change, or did you install short springs?

I don't believe this comment. This guy is saying everyone has to have concave wheels for their car to look good???
I think these look pretty good.

I did not say that in my OP. I never said they look bad but I think concave wheels on the 6 would be sick and be a better look with the body style of the car. Check this link and tell me these wheels would not look better on a 6. I was not trying to bash the wheels he has. Just trying to give some ideas. In no way was I being disrespectful. Peace

BlackWinds wheels fit a black car as this
Your examples are nice as well - may be a little more conservative though.

My personal choice is styling the car moderately and with original BMW parts when possible. For my own car it meant 20 inches V-spole style 356.

Everybody happy in his own choice.

Best OEM choice, love them. I need to find some pics of your car. I hope he is happy but the OP asked what next. I think different rims would really make the car pop. The guy that responded is not the owner of the car. If the owner loves his current wheels I am happy for him. I was just giving him my opinion. I am not sure they are more conservative, I just think a little more upscale and the 6 deserves that. Plus, I think the concave really works well with the lines of the 6 and 5.
Peace

Another nice looking set up http://f10.5post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=561075

Perhaps a nice Remus Exhaust? Nothing too loud, but it will give your 640i a nice purr!
