Yes, Another M6 Rep Thread!

Ok can someone confirm or deny that the 18" reps are not available, staggered? Ive only found 8". Id rather not go smaller than stock and Im no longer considering 19s.

I've been looking, and yes, they are not available staggered. You gotta go 19s for staggered.

The only ones I've seen selling are made by Miro, so if another company starts making them, then you may be able to find staggered setups.

There must be something to having the same all around though right? After all, the facelifted Z4's are no longer staggered for their 18" package....or so I've heard.

No thats wrong. I have the sport package that gives you 8" up front and 8.5" in the back.

I think he was referring to the M6 reps...not what you have now.

ZGirl, there is another company that makes an 8.5, but no 9 or 9.5" option in 18" radius. The other company's wheels I've only seen on eBay, and at offsets of +20 and +33. These would work well on this narrow of a wheel for the rears (unlike my current +22 9.5"... which is pushing it).

But, a matching set they will not be, and there is no one vouching for this other anonymous company, so I say skip it.

Honestly...the M6 wheel threads are quite exhausting these days. The topic is so last year.

You can get M6 Reps from Wheelmax.com under the brand Eurosport. They have them in 18x8.5 in various finishes. They are not staggered though.

I may be selling mine soon....the excitement has worn off.

These 18s are staggered. They look like M6 wheels to me but I could be missing something since I am new to BMW as of a week ago...

You are correct! Now all those that yearn for M6 Reps can get them and let these repetitive M6 wheel threads DIE.

Too late, I just received them today. I have a question though. Will my tire pressure monitor no longer work now?

You can fit new sensors to the new wheels for $200 or so, or swap your old sensors over, or just live with the tire light on all the time.

How would someone go abouts swaping the old sensors into new wheels ?

Not sure - I haven't done it yet. I'm switching to my CSLs later this week or early next, so I'll know by then.

I'm guessing you just give them to whoever will be mounting your wheels. I plan on taking the TPMS sensors out of my 17" set and reusing them.
