Suggestions for a Simple Chunky 5-6 Spoke wheel?
I'm kinda bored of the mesh wheels and was thinking of what options are out for the Z4M.
I've always loved the looks of the Ruf 5-spoke where they go all the way to the edge. I think this would work well with the lines of the Z4... basically an adaptation of the stock Z4M wheels. Does anyone make something like this in a 5x120? The closest I can think of is Hamann PG3, but it's not as clean looking.

Did you see this thread?
http://www.zpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=420361 These are basically Volk reps and the spokes don't come all the way to the lip but I think they do fit your description of 'chunky' 6 spokes. I think they're a good match for our car. I'm not sure how a wheel similar to the Ruf's would look on the Z4. They're almost a little too simple for all the complex lines Bangle graced us with. |

If I could've afforded them, I was really looking at the Work Meisters. Here's an E92 from their site:
Can't really see a good side view, but these are DEEP dish. Something about them. IDK.

Those look REALLY good. I had Prodrive GC-05s on my STi for a while and I loved them but they weren't wide enough for me. I wonder how expensive those are...

Damn Chris… could you have found a more expensive wheel!?
That's what I want; just at 30% of the price. I like the Volk TE-37 and Work Meisters, but I'd prefer something with no dish.

Sorry about that
But on the right track as far as the look goes, so I will keep searching.

Yeah I really like those too. Just not the price! haha
I found these, I think they would look amazing in this Hyper Silver (you have IB right?). AND, it's the right bolt pattern (5x120) The TSW configurator doesn't have a Z4 to look at, but they look sick on an M3: http://www.tsw.com/tsw_configurator/

i saw the rp03/05's too but something just didn't click for me with those...honestly if i were going to keep a 5 spoke design, i'd get the M6 wheels, but that's just ME. if i had the money it'd be meisters or your ADV5. the concave on those are just sickening....in a good way.

Those TSW Vortex's look nice and clean. I'll have to photoshop them on our car to see how they look. I'm not really a fan of those Enkei's either. Too much going on for my taste.

May not have the right offsets for you but I've got a set of 18" 3.0si sport wheels in the basement. They're the basic 5 spoke design and I think they look great. Actually, I wouldn't sell them to you as cheap as this guy would, haha.

Thanks, but not really interested in an OEM wheel.
Not as clean as what I'm looking for; but the Work Gnosis GS2 is a pretty nice wheel - similar split 5-spoke design to the stock ones.

Can you get them with a black lip instead of polished?

subscribed - to see what you come up with.
My thinking is along the same line. For me, weight would also be a critical component.

Nice Looks like the lip is a matte charcol color.
The Volk G2's are a simple six spoke design and very light.

I saw these on a car yesterday, I think it was an older Eclipse if I remember right, and they looked REALLY good. I actually got on here to post the suggestion but saw the same set on here! |

Subscribed also -- any updates?
These would look nice. I like that they have a black with silver lip available. I like that style. One thing I don't like about these is the two-piece look with the screws/rivets. I know it's a TWO PIECE and it needs to be held together, but it's not for my taste. Just go with a CSL rep...make it easy on yourself... J/K!!
