Please, please Lou, order the M6 mirrors the first thing you do... The standard mirrors are the ugliest in the history of BMW.

I vote for Radenergie too... I have them on my white 6 series cab... my second choice would be Lowenhart LSR... I highly suggest you don't go 22". Stick to 21"... here's a pic of the Lowenhart LSR w/ black face / polished lip. They also come in chrome too.

Benjamin Choi is infamous around these parts

Lowenharts = horrible quality, though they do look flashy if that is your thing.

The 6 requires a body kit. else it looks like it's sitting too high up. Hamaan, ACS... whichever. styling is no more exuberant than your Techart, Gemballa etc.

I'd go deep dish, mesh style, reputable brand 20s. Slammed.

I had the Radenergie 19's on my Z8 before I went to HRE 543r 20'S.. gR8 WHEEL, but, back when I had them they were a relative bargain, now those Rad R10's are HRE money and HRE's are better quality.. ANyway, here are the pics I found...Let me know what you guys think............

Those first wheels are GHETTO.
Second looks good I guess
Third best, but you can find better.

Why is it that you say Lowenharts have horrible quality? Is it because of personal experience? I have owned over 15 sets of Lowenhart's up to this date and never had a problem with them. I think they are very well made wheels.

What ever you do.. Dont put chrome wheels on it..

21's are probably the best compromise for driveability and looks.

And stay away from the body kits...

Just a nice set of wheels, lower it, keep it clean and simple.

Fabryce,

I was thinking of lowering it with eibach or H&R springs, what wheels would you suggest and do you think springs will suffice??

Does anyone know if the offsets will be similar for the M6 as whatever wheels I get, I want to fit on the M6 as well. And if I go with 20's, what size tires do I get?? Do I go with 20x9 front and 20x10 rear or 20x9 front and 20x11 rear?? Thanks
