Can you help me pick out wheels?!?

Duck360198 · 07-26-2011, 12:33 PM

Usually this isn't a problem for me, as I know exactly what I want (coming from an E46 and currently have a 2008 335i) and am able to just go get it, but the Z4M Coupe is a more difficult car to pick wheels for. Here's what I'm looking for:

- Preferably Lightweight
- Good quality build
- Bright silver finish
- 18" or 19" is fine, but it seems like 19 will look the best
- Staggered setup preferred
- Would like a little bit of aggression with the concavity
- Car will be on stock suspension
- Do not want to run spacers
- I LOVE the CSL/ZCP look, but wanted to see what else would be out there.
- Price should be around $2K or under for wheels alone.

With all of the CSL reps out there, I don't know which is the best one. Been looking for Morr VS7's, but that has led to nothing. Can anyone provide suggestions?

THANKS!

I recommend my set, they're about 24-25lbs each. Not the highest quality in terms of durability, but the price is right

What about the Apex ARC 8? The 18's weigh in at about 18.5 lbs without tires, and they are available in hyper silver. Should only set you back about 1300 (EDIT/for the rims only)

Or you could scrounge the Classifieds, save some money and spend the rest of the coin on sticky tires

vs7's are my first choice

but if I were going 18's, apex for sure

i LOVE the orginal CSL wheels, strong, pretty light and look amazing AND an oem wheel, what more could one want??

throw a 12mm spacer up front for the perfect stance.....

what color is your MC?

Lark · 07-26-2011, 04:39 PM

OZ Ultraleggera or Alleggerita.

i'm in the search for some wheels for my MC also. i'm probably going to go with some ZCP's from tischer. such a versatile rim and looks perfect on the e46m and z4m.

Thanks for the link! I've heard back and forth stories on Miro wheels. They look great, but have heard about issues on the quality. The price is definitely right though.

Apex is a great company and have heard they are phenomenal race AND street wheels. But they're just not as aggressive as I would like them to be.

I tend to agree, which is what I'm leaning toward! I was thinking I may want something just a little bit different though.

Love O.Z.! Had Superleggera III's on my M3, but I just don't think the Ultraleggera and Alleggerita are aggressive enough.

oh god, see, that's what I always come back to. It looks phenomenal!!!!!! But do you need to run spacers to make them fit right?!?!

nesrevival · 07-26-2011, 06:14 PM

that's not zcp.. it's csl

boondocksaint · 07-26-2011, 08:39 PM

Enkei NT03+M - light, strong, perfect staggered size and offset, not terribly expensive, and not the usual choice. Not terribly concave, but they'll be what I snag as soon as I can swing it (i.e. post house purchase).

gferil · 07-27-2011, 09:21 AM

I've always felt the VMR V710 and Miro 111 like Roffle Waffle has suit the lines of the Z4 better than the CSL/ZCP style wheels do, have you thought of those?

I can't stand that halo that they have going through the spokes

If you know the story behind the design, you'd at least know why the halo is there.

ZStig · 07-27-2011, 07:49 PM

I know I don't like it, and thats enough for me

You may also want to check out the Avant Garde M359 (M3 competition style wheel) as well. The Avant Garde linheup of wheels are low pressure cast and do utilize the same manufacturing process as your OEM wheels. The setup that is going to work best is the 19x9.0 ET35 with a 245/35/19 up front and the 19x10 ET25 with a 275/30/19 in the rear. Here are a few pics of my customers Z4M Coupe who just got this setup installed on his car earlier this afternoon for you guys to check out!

The only way to tell the difference is front wheel width (8" for ZCP, 8.5" for CSL). The rears are identical.

I assume it's just structural bracing.
