Get the 343M - problem solved. None of what you are saying here is new - all has been discussed ad nauseam here and elsewhere.

Yes, it's annoying that //M stuck a heavier cast wheel on the comp pak. I've somehow gotten over it.

BTW - I bought the comp pak for everything else - not the wheels. If I am buying an //M5, I want the one with the sportiest suspension, handling, most power, loudest exhaust. To me and others that was worth the 6k. To others, it wasn't. Make the choice that's right for you and move on. No point in continuing to beat this horse - it's dead!
