Rays on an m6 woudl look alittle off....

Asanti's are baller as hell, but i don't know how they are performance-wise...

first ones that come to mind for me are HRE's or DPE's, but i don't know too much about high-end wheel choices for euros.

Some AC Schnitzers would be appropriate, they are built just for BMW.

Asantis are awesome wheels for the money...very comparable to HRE, DPE for considerably less money. They are still three-piece forged rims

Perhaps parents spoil the kid and buy him the M6.

Spoiled rich kid has to spend his own duckets footing the bill for mods on the M6 and kid has a budget because his parents told him no way in hell he's getting cash for mods.

Or something like that...

Do you know what 1,000.00 will get him? A set of 18's (asantis) with maybe 2 tires.

Be ready to spend 3500 or so..

come on please..... M6... seems as if money might be an issue. Got the car already. Just keep it stock.

Hamann, AZ Schnitzer... and even though I think they are underrated, I think Breyton wheels look very nice on a BMW.

Ray's Wheels belong on a Japanese car, not a BMW. And as for Asantis, they are too heavy for a car that could really move like an M6.

Keep the stock, M-series wheels should be left stock that's one thing the makes them different from the lower class Bimmers. Your friend can be talked out of it.

This is a pointless thread. Tell him to get his Asantis and be done with it.
