Need to chat with Ian and the other Bimmer boys about some mods.
Thanks Colin for keeping those supplies safe!!
Here you go...

LOL: "Debuted at the November SEMA auto show, the $1,000,000 foursome sports a total of 110,000 carets of genuine gemstomes- and comes with a free Bentley Continental GT as a sort of “manufacturer’s rebate”."

But seriously...> +1 on the HRE wheels...Hamann, Hartge, Borbet for some of the more common aftermarket BMW choices...Asanti (if you you like the bling)...or, if you like the M6 wheels, why not try to find a set and throw those on?

The M6 wheels have an offset about 12.
The M has a different suspension than the 650.
(same goes for the Z4 M & non-M)

There are M6 reps out there that should fit, if thats what you like.
IDK what ET works on the 650.... but a buddy put these on his M coupe.

MiRó Type 346 a.k.a. M6 Replicas (Silver/Gunmetal finish):
19 x 8.5 ET35 front with 245/35/19 tyres (49lbs per wheel + tyre)
19 x 9.5 ET20 rear with 275/30/19 tyres (54lbs per wheel + tyre)

^ I like those a lot. I would go with slightly less offset in the rear to match if they were available but nice none the less.

How do those weight compare to your Ian? Yours are very light IIRC.

Those gunmetal wheels look fantastic on that car. They actually look bigger than 19s.

They do look large with the Gunmetal interior.

His wheel & tire combo were about 2lbs lighter than OEM.
My wheels are about 4lbs lighter than OEM.

I have these in silver 8.5 x 18" for my snows.

Those weight savings sounds pretty good and outstanding with yours. Nice wheels for snows.

No wonder the style looked familiar. I dug into my picture archives. Here is a couple pics the day I picked up my car and you and Colin met me. Your car looks different without your mods.



Oops, sorry Ted, going off topic, oh well we are talking about BMW wheels Ted
