Z4 Coupe with BMW 162's

JD3 · 07-27-2010, 10:07 AM

After much internal struggling with the 18" vs 19" wheel options, I decided to go the safe (and tooth filling saving) option of 18s. I bought a set of matte black 162's off of this site and hope to get/install them this week.
Has anyone seen these wheels on the Z4? A quick web search showed nothing.....yet

Pics to come ASAP.

Sorry this took a while guys but here it is....I think these wheels fit the Z4 perfectly. I'm a black wheel guy but I think these would look good in silver too. More pics to come, this was with my phone after I got them on. Anyway, hope you like it.

These are 335i e90 sport package wheels correct?

Yes, they are. I have a set of these in silver and they look great on my E46 sedan. I've never thought of putting them on the MCoupe but JD3 just gave me an idea

Haha, good, glad you like them. Make sure you post the pics on this thread so I can see it!
Those wheels always caught my eye on the 3 series sports package models and then the light went off. Put them on the Z. I think they look great, they're a little more aggressive due to the offset, which I think does the car some good. I got them off a guy on the 3 series classifieds.

looks sick man! glad you like them!

Quickid · 08-11-2010, 07:35 AM

I just checked the offsets and I'll need some spacers to make them look right on the MCoupe. I only have 10mm on hand and it's not enough.

fercho · 08-11-2010, 10:49 AM

they look really cool i was thinking about putting the same ones or even the m3 wheels

Eccentric · 08-11-2010, 12:04 PM

damn, those dont look half bad

808six · 08-11-2010, 05:51 PM

looks way better than i had pictured in my head...

vachss · 08-11-2010, 08:45 PM

That's great that this is working out. I always thought the 34mm offset fronts of the E9x series caused rubbing issues on Z4s with sport package suspensions.

r4gs · 08-11-2010, 10:04 PM

these remind me of the 'turbines' on the 2nd gen audi tt's

fercho · 08-11-2010, 10:22 PM

what do you guys think about the m3 220 style on a roadster????

vortex_tuning · 08-11-2010, 10:39 PM

The 162's look great on the coupe!

AWM3 · 08-12-2010, 05:55 AM

The offset is fine on the front and could benefit from 15mm spacers on the rear. The wheels and the car look great.

Wow, thanks for the great responses everyone, I appreciate it. I haven't had any rubbing and I agree, the rear could be set out about another 15mm or so to give it a more flush look but I'm pretty content for now.

I think I've seen that look on the web somewhere. Personally I think those wheels have too many spokes, but it certainly didn't look bad. I like nice concavity on the Z4.

misterawa · 08-12-2010, 05:03 PM

Nice choice of OEM wheels...lighter than reps for sure. Do you plan on putting spacers on the rear?

I got a set of OEM 197s powder coated matte black.

fercho · 08-13-2010, 02:05 AM

im thinking of doing that if i decide to do that i would share pic

JD3 · 08-13-2010, 08:19 AM

I doubt ill do spacers at this point. Maybe next summer.

Yeah, that would have been my next choice if the 162s didn't work out. The 197s are fantastic looking wheels.
