Pic request: Z4 with 550i Sport wheels

[KN0XVILLE]

Anyone have a pic of a roadster/coupe with 550i sport wheels?


thanks!

Haven't seen that before but I'm sure they would look sweet. Those are some of my favorite wheels. Those and the 750IL Sport wheels.

i doubt you could fit those wheels, e60 wheels have pretty low offsets (et20 front, et32 rear). you could probably get the rears to fit but fronts would be pushing it unless they were narrow - not the case though if you're looking at 550i sport wheels. you'd have to do reps

ditto. There is probably a reason they've never been seen on a Z4. Perhaps they would fit an M with those low offsets

I'm ok with reps- found this http://www.**********s.com/550i-Sport-Wheels.htm

My last car [nismo 350z] had an offset wheel size (19" rear, 18" front); would that setup be practical for a Z4?

I think mine has replicas similar to those from **********s, 8,5x18 ET 40 non-staggered (http://www.**********s.com/550i-Sport-Wheels.htm). Got the car in October with these on, just swapped full nordic winter tyres on to them, 225/40-18.

Not quite sure how much I like them myself but at least they work fine for the winter.
Basically the design is quite good with both roundess and "edginess" combined, pretty much as the E85 has itself.

Thinking of something else + some lowering for next summer. Now with OEM, non-M suspension.

when we say offset, we're referring to the offset of the wheel hub (how far in/out the wheels mount on the hub). 19" rear / 18" front are 2 different wheel diameters - not sure if there's a term for that but that's not what we meant by offset. either way, i don't see any potential practical benefits; i assume it's more for aesthetics?
