style 135 on z4

captdchu · 01-29-2012, 12:27 PM

any opinions on the M3 style 135 wheels on a z4 si?
they are the same size and offset

also in my research of tires and wheels, ran across this handy offset calculator

thanks all

having a hard time finding a set of OEM style 135's
now looking at replicas...

anyone have any experience with replicas? are they worth while?
any suggestions for brands or dealers? ebay?

thanks

welcome to zpost!

the style 135 is not an ///m3 wheel. it is the stock wheel off of an e46 ZHP... coupe, conv, or sedan. a few z4 3.0si cars here in the USA came with them, but not many.

i do not recommend replicas for this wheel. they will be VERY heavy. if you're set on this style, try hitting up e46fanatics and see if any of the ZHP owners over there are selling.

Have you looked on e46fanatics? There are a handful on there. Shouldn't be too hard to find a set. They are nice rims.

yep...couple of sets on e46 right now

captdchu · 02-05-2012, 04:12 PM

Yeah that happens, but it's the weekend. Hopefully you get more responses throughout the week. Have you tried to create a WTB thread and get people to offer them to you?

I really liked those rims on my 330ci, they were just a real pain to clean.

thanks again, i'm trying to finalize a deal with a guy on e46, just slow going. hoping it will all work out, I really like the looks of those wheels... hope the cleaning wont be too bad... lol

did you run pure stock or use spacers? thinking about moving the wheels out a bit for a better look... any thoughts?

With the stock ones it sucked but when I converted to the UUC Wilwood BBK it was a lot better but still took lots of work when I had to clean them.

I didn't run spacers on the 330ci.

However, that car is sold so I no longer have that problem. Well...sort of. The E92 M3 rims I have for summer on my Z4M are close in style to the ZHP ones. Happily they are black so not a real problem

A picture of them on my old 330ci with the Wilwood BBK.

Heres my SI Coupe that was delivered with the 135s
Nice wheels but I sold them.

captdchu · 02-08-2012, 06:51 PM

still cant get anyone over at e46 to sell me a set... so have been reading about offsets and such...

now looking at style 197 off of a e90, have better offsets, will be 13mm further out, from posts seem they look and work better

anyone with experience with these on a z4?

determined to get new wheels!
