Thinking about an M2C but keep seeing comments about the wheels - is it just the design that people don’t like (I actually like them paperbag) or is there something else wrong with them?

I love them. The gloss black contrasting with the diamond cut finish looks awesome. The only problem is keeping them clean!

I've heard Poorboys Wheel Sealant is good. Will give that a try

General consensus is that they don’t flatter the shape of the M2 because they don’t have a ‘dish’ whereas the 437m wheels do.

This is my view. They look ok on the M3/4 , not so much on the 2. 437’s suit it perfectly.

Yes, the 437 is a nice wheel.

Each to their own, it what makes us all different. Personally I prefer the 437 and if I ordered a M2C I’d spec these.

Otherwise running M513 lol

I don't know where the hate come from, maybe Chris Harris could be the culprit from his review of the M2C.... They look stunning, but they're a total pig to clean.

763M for the win. Light, looks fab, easy to clean.

But, as above. Looks to be a complete pig to keep clean, and there are better looking alternatives.

I find Bilt Hamber Auto Wheel Cleaner really good to clean the 788M but might try a sealant to keep it cleaner longer.
