M6 wheels why not M5?

mPlasticDesign · 03-11-2008, 01:38 PM

Ok don't laugh at my ghetto photoshop (I'm at work and did this on Paint) There is plenty of Z's rolling around with M6 reps and CSL's too. So I was wondering what the M5 wheel would look like. What do you guys think?

Yeh, they scaling might be a little off but it is pretty close. I tried to make them look like 19's. Again, I am using MS Paint. This was a pain in the a$$ as it was.

I like the look of the M5 reps a lot more than the M6 ones.

Let the debate begin... maybe I should have made this a poll? damn!

I like them both. The M6 reps make the wheels look bigger. The M5 reps mesh better with the car IMO.

If anyone actually has them on thier car, maybe post some pics for our viewing pleasure.

BimmerZealot · 03-11-2008, 02:44 PM

I actually really like the M5 wheels on the Z4, does anyone make the M5 reps?

Miro makes both M5/6. Only seen the M5's on E46 M3's though.

Stock wheels thanks

Don't like M6 wheels on anything other than a M6, I Don't think they suit the Z4 at all,

and ditto to M5 wheels, I really like them, But on an M5

The Z4M wheels are beautiful, and I love mine

BimmerZealot · 03-11-2008, 04:50 PM

If someone can source a shot of an E46 with the M5 wheels from the side I can photoshop them on my car / someones car for better reference.

michal12 · 03-11-2008, 04:53 PM

They actually look much nicer than I thought!

Not that the Mcoupe looks anything like an Aston but I do like the multi-spoke(10+) look of these wheels.

Agree...i think the stock z4m wheels looks 1000x times better than m6 or m5 rep. wheels on a z4. Only good looking rep wheels are the lm's imo

M5 wheels need to be on a bigger car. And they are also a little too "busy".

BimmerZealot · 03-13-2008, 04:20 PM

Here it is guys, finally got around to photoshopping them on my car. They aren't bad but not my first choice. Enjoy

Would you say they're scaled to an 18 or 19" diameter in you ps?

BimmerZealot · 03-13-2008, 04:32 PM

I tried my best to match it to my stock 18" but I would take it with a grain of salt, it looks a little bigger then 18"
