343s are forged, 443 and 601s are cast. Also note the M6 wheels are 0.5 inch wider

I only have the 2018 M6 Coupe brochure to hand but it shows the 343 as options in both black and silver (presumably diamond cut). The black wheel is 0.5 inch wider at the front and the finish on my factory fit wheels is more satin black than high gloss black.

Yes I think they only come in satin Thanks
Doing my research it seems the m6 variant of the 343 is 9.5 front and 10.5 rear this goes for both satin black and silver ,the M5 variant of the 343 is 9.0 front 10.0 rear with a different offset correct me if im wrong

It has been confirmed that there's a typographical error in BMW F12/13/06 M6 brochures and order guides The error is related to the wheel widths for wheel style 343 on the M6. Marketing department accidentally copied the M5 wheel size on the 343 (black color IIRC) to the M6 brochure implying they are 20 x 9 and 20 x 10. Those are M5 sizes.

M6 sizes are 20 x 9.5 and 20 x 10.5 for all 20 inch styles 433, 601 and 343.

It is this reason why M5 owners cannot fit M6 wheels on their cars, especially the rear.

They finally fixed the order guide (not the brochures) for 2019 models.

Brochures:
I'm only aware of 2 full size brochure versions printed for US market. There was one printed in 2013 featuring an SO F12 and SMB F13 marketing only the F12/13. There is another 2013 book printed just for the F06 M6 featuring a frozen Silverstone M6GC.

There is a 2016 book printed for UK market with all 3 models featured in it. The cover has a SG F06, SMB F13 and SO F12. There was also a book printed in 2012 featuring the SO F12 and SMB F13.

So far I have acquired 3 of these brochures, along with the US 2014 M5 book.

I'm not sure where I got 2018 brochure from Most probably the date I saved it online but it's older. The latest brochure I've seen is from 2017. There's also a printed version. As the cars are minus the orange side reflectors I presume it's produced for the UK and mainland European the market.
20" wheels are correctly shown as 9.5 and 10.5.
