feel free to recommend other options. i'm having trouble finding rims i love. i like rims that are open and allow you to see the calipers and discs. i see a lot of 335s on here with the m6 replicas that are silver/gunmetal instead of silver/black. i am not sure how the black looks in person but i was thinking i might look good on a white car

Tough decision, but I always gravitate towards the M6s...

I really like the M6s too but some shots of the eurosports look amazing. I've also never seen the silver/black M6s in person so I am not sure how they compare to the silver/gunmetal version. It's hard to tell by the pictures.

out of those two i would say the The Eurosport Monzas, the M6's are played out IMHO.

But if i had to choose i would go with Alufelgen SF-71 good prices, and if you want they have the diamond cut finish that is very similar in paint scheme as the ones you posted.

I had the same problem. I couldnīt decide what wheels i want and when i did find something i liked there was always something like No distributor here, discontinued, wrong specs or something else.It took hole winter to decide finally ordered Apex wheels.

How about those new M5 Replica

i feel like the vmrs and the alufelgens have too much metal for my taste. although they seem pretty similiar to the eurosports.

i saw the M5 replicas on **********s and thought they looked kind of tacky, but the pictures in that thread you sent look awesome. i think i may prefer them over the M6 reps. thanks

just realized the avant gardes are slightly different than the regular M5 reps. it looks like they have more of a concave. no wonder they look so good. theyre alittle out of my price range though.

i think i like the monza over the m6 rep, but i like the 313 over both and it is an open style too. But i feel open style looks good if you have performance brakes, otherwise a closed in type looks better imo.
saying that, i have sf71 diamond cut on mine and love it.

Both the M6 wheels and the Eurosport Monza wheels look great. It comes down to which design you like best. Are you more into the 5 spoke look or were you looking for a mesh wheel with a concave look? Either way, here are a couple installed pictures of both setups for you to check out!

M6 type 346 Silver/GM
