M6 GC member looking to swap their 433 for 343 M wheels?
I have found an M6 GC that I plan to put an offer on. However, it currently has the 343s on it from factory. I prefer the M6 433 style wheels.
Would anyone with an M6 GC that has the 433s want to swap wheels if I end up with this car? Pm me or reply here! Located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Willing to ship if the other party is too

FWIW, the 343M wheels which are available in M5 and M6's (but it must be said are different sizes) are forged and a lot lighter than the M6 GC specific 433M's.
433M are 14.1kg and 14.9kg front and rear 343M are 11.4kg and 11.9kg front and rear I'd much rather have the 343M's myself as they'll be stronger too |

IN all honesty, I'm not too worried about weight when it comes to an M6 GC. I prefer the look of the 433M wheels on the M6 GC.

lol I prefer the look of the 433M myself and the weight savings didn't matter to me
343M looks too small and skinny for M6 GC |

Aftermarket forged wheels > Forged 343M > 433M Cast bs
I dunno but IMHO I would never want a set of cast wheels on this kind of car. Don't even understand why BMW makes these, or at least decided to make them cast over forged.

To make M6 GC as heavy as possible LOL All jokes aside I like the look of 433M anyways. When I got my car, dealer had installed those rims and wanted to charge me extra $4k. I gave them option to install the OEM or 433M for free and guess what? They installed 343M by mistake with no charge lol (the sticker says 19")

I have done the After market forged 3 piece rims on 4 cars now as I like the look of the three piece set up and wanted the cars to look different then the others ... However I did a set of Cast Vossen CVTs on my current S63 as I liked the look ... sometimes the look surpases rational thought and thus outweighs strenght and weight

Available For Swap
Sorry for the Bump; preferred not to start a new thread on the same topic...
I just purchased a beautiful F06 M6 CPO in Opal White on Tanzanite blue, with the 343M Wheels. I fully understand they are forged - stronger, better balanced and lighter than the 433M model, but I just like the design of the 433M's better for daily use, and will be getting forgestar F14 rims for track days at some point in the future anyway... Are there any F06 M6 owners within the tri-state area with 433M rims in good condition that are looking for the added performance and/or prefer the looks of my 343Ms? I could do with a few scratches, nothing major - please note my rims look brand new with no scratches or dents whatsoever. I am on Michelin PSS tires; if you have Michelins of similar tread (~80%) we could simply swap them; otherwise, I would prefer going to a BMW Center between us, have the tires swapped on each-other's rims, and split the labor bill. Here are a couple of pics of the rims; They all look the same. I'll gladly PM more pix, Facetime/skype etc. but haven't had a chance to take more yet. |
