What do you think 788m wheels will be worth in secondhand market, compared to the 437m? I feel like the market is already flooded with 437m wheels. 788m might be best option for people considering either 763m or aftermarket wheels. |

Depends on the weight. If these 788M are lighter than the 763M wheels....people may want them.

If I have a change of heart (big if) and get HS then I'd then get the 788M in black. Right now I'm looking at getting it in BSM and wanted to see it with the 437M since the face of the wheels are machined exposed aluminum. I wouldn't put black wheels on a black car, not into the full murdered out look, needs some contrast. I'm not feeling the standard 788M wheels, looks too busy IMO. At least in black they are toned down a bit.

There’s just something to seeing things like the wheels or trunk in person, and in the color of your choice. I really want HS, so I think I will get to see it with 437s and both versions of the 788s. I got a little tired of the black Carrera S wheels on my white 981...so it will be interesting to see how I feel about the respective combos on the M2C.

Part of the reason I sort of got sick of the black wheels on the 981 is because you sort of lose the wheels from a distance...it just looks like a black hole. Part of that would be remedied with the huge silver brake discs on the M2C...the 981, even my S, had pretty small discs.

There's a couple of folks with OG M2s and rocking the 666Ms - they look great on it.

I agree with others that black wheels on black cars look bad. There needs to be some contrast. In fact, I only like black wheels on white cars (HS would work too, since it's basically a pearl white).
I just put a set of Anthracite Apex wheels on my 135 and that is about as dark as I think works on a black car. I'm leaning 788 with the machined face (my color choice will be BSM if they don't bring back MGM by the time I buy next year), but 437 is an option too. I haven't seen them live on BSM, but they looked great on MGM. I LOVE the 763's, but they need to be grey and are only offered in black or gold. Nothing an orbit grey paint job won't cure though... My 135 with Anthracite Apex EC-7's for reference:

I'll be swapping to all black 437s if there's no option to build my BSM comp with them.
