I am still searching for rims. Came across some used M6 ones, both reps though. Set of 4 without tires for $700cnd obo or another set of rims with tires (90% treds left) for %1800cnd obo. Both in excellent condition. I like them, but would like to see some more pics of them. Would like to see what they look like on Alpine white. Are reps worth it, r they heavy?

i think M6 wheels look great on the E60. i had them on my amethyst gray. reps are okay but i'd definitely try and get the OEM wheels. the OEM wheels are forged so they are very light and very strong. the reps i had didn't seem unusually heavy: probably about average for cast 19" wheels. Here's a pic:

^^^ +1000 they do look good on our cars. I would've suggested looking up member Xman's car, but it's amethyst grey too. I think a member named edwok99 or something like that had the same wheels on an alpine white car like you have and it looked great.

M6 reps are okay, but IMO there's better options out there.

Plus the M6 reps have documented issues with structural integrity due to the spoke design.

Clearly, my car isn't White, but I have Miro Reps M6 reps, and they are great. No vibrations or anything. If you like them, you should get them.

One more thing that people usually dont spell out is that
If you have the M6 wheels and your driving the car with say caliper covers or say Brembo brakes.

ITS LOOKS AWESOME --- Really Really AWESOME


I agree when people say that there are better options out there.
