I wanted a mild drop because there are all manner of bad road situations around me and my driveway has a roll over curb. Also not into the slammed look and ride quality. She should settle into about 1-3/4 lower in the front and 1-1/2 lower in the rear.

I have only been able to drive the car for about an hour so I will provide my impressions in the appropriate thread at a later time. Along with some proper pictures.




Only appearance mods so far are blacked out roundels, tint, stubby, black kidneys, and wheels of course.
Are your wheels 8.5F and 9.5R?

Ok, I think I've decided on the Miro 942 and will be ordering them tomorrow. Here's a pic of them on an E89. Two questions-offsets of +35F/+35R should be ok, right or should the rear be +40? The wheels are 18x8.5F and 18x9.5R. The rears should fit with the 255/35's should they not?

et40 for the rear.

255/35 will look stretched depending on the tire.

the 942's are street wheels only. do not track the car with them. also, do not install rft tires on them. you might also consider doing a good search here on zpost. the owner of the z4m that m.o.d.b.argains has on their website wasn't too pleased with the quality of the wheels. he has a full review in here somewhere. i'm not saying that they are bad wheels, or that m.o.d.b.argains is a bad company... i am saying that when you're looking at wheels that are made in china, it's best to have as much info as possible.

also, the pic you posted of the e89... from the m.o.d.b.argains website nonetheless... has actual BMW 19" 313 Performance wheels. not 942's.

link to owner's car...
http://e89.zpost.com/forums/showthre...&highlight=313

you can tell by the color of the non-machined portions...
313 = ferric gray
942 = much darker

shape of the "step" just behind the spokes near the barrel of the wheel...
313 = "step" is more complex, having a rolled inverse curve
942 = "step" is flat (a.k.a. easier/cheaper to manufacture).

shape of the spokes...
313 = narrow spokes w/ the bend closer to the barrel
942 = slightly wider spokes w/ the bend halfway between the hub and barrel

and i think you can even make out the "BMW Performance" logo just outside of the valve stem on both the front and the rear wheels. (the pic is low res, and it's hard to be sure. not all the 19" 313's have the logo.)

i find it interesting that the website's owner is marketing 313's as 942's. seems semi bait-and-switch to me.

Great info, thanks for letting me know. While I will most likely not track this car, I still want to get a "reliable"-yet cost effective, make of wheel. Sounds like I should research a little more. Luckily, its winter and I dont have to be in a rush. So then are your wheels style 313 and if so, will they fit a non-m without spacers, etc?

Thanks for the post. I'll look around for some 313's now and see if there are any for sale. Those will look pretty good on my Z, hopefully as good as they look on yours. They look like 19's.

i love those wheels on subbies (frame the brakes perfectly) and wondered what they would look like on a z with aggressive fitment.

now i know. they look great.
