Tough time deciding on wheels.

For the longest time I wanted Work VS-XX in Xtreme Gold. Didn't matter the car...same applied. They are my favorite wheels for the E46 M3 even over the BBS LMs.

But after thinking about the shape of my black sapphire M roadster I think that mesh wheel seems to "busy". I know Dr. Wonder had some on his non-M and while they looked okay I just wasn't in love like I was with them on the M3. So I have been thinking about the Work Meister S1. I like the simple shape of the wheels with rounded spokes that I think may flow better with the somewhat rounded body of the Z4. I have wanted goooolllld wheels on a black car for a long time so whatever wheels I get are going to be gold, I feel pretty sure of that. They make the S1 in both 2pc and 3pc, but I think I like the 2pc better. Yes they don't have the cool multipiece look but I like the longer spokes you get on the 2pc.

So with all of that typing (sorry it was so long), here is an example of what I am considering putting on my M roadster.



Anyway, opinions? I know there will a big group that can't imagine anything other than mesh on a euro car. If someone has photoshop skills can they maybe put it on a black Z4? I don't know I am just having some second thoughts that it is too plain. Many of the multi-spoke or mesh designs are more interesting.

Thanks for the input.

Here is another shot...these happen to be 17" but you get the idea.

I like a simple 5/6 spoke on the Z4M (better to show off the cross drilled rotors )
but not sure about these ones, the style makes them look so small.

These wheels are super popular on s2ks and 350Zs. I would like to see how it looks on a Z4.

My brother happens to have a black S2K. Still undecided on the wheels. I am not in a hurry and want to be sure before dropping over $4000 on wheels and tires.
