So far i think this wheel is perfect for anyone who wants that M twin spoked look and since this wheel is simpathetic to our cars wheel offsets you wont have wheels sticking out from the surface.

the tires im running are NITTO INVO's 235/35/R19 front and 265/30/R19 rear.

also i have the BBK getting painted as we speak, all fitting done so when i get that back ill finish the job. loving how its all coming together.



sorry for the moisture in the headlight its getting replaced

I'm liking how much more flush they look. Can't wait to see some full car shots!

Looks good. Now lower it, more! I was actually talking to my brother today about how I wanted to see what his wheels look like on my car (he has a Z4 3.5is). But we were both too lazy to swap. lol

Nice fitment! Now you just need a drop! What size tires did you go with? 235/35r19 in front and 265/30r19 in rear? Now we need some glamour shots!

Looks great from what I can see. Looking forward to more photos when you get a chance. I really like these wheels.

Off topic, but here goes:

1. How do you like that Jack?
2. Lotus?

Looking good! What suspension did you put on, that's waiting to be settled? Watch out to see if those wheels rub on full lock...

Btw is that your Lotus?

lowering setup comes today, this weekend I will replace the suspension and the stance should be reset, since I went with a slightly taller tire I don’t want the slightly lifted look so once the car is lowered and the tire will take up more wheel well this should complete the look ..... then it’s off to get aligned!


more pics to come then......

coming along nicely!

wise choice on the wheels with the TiAg. the "turn up" at the front part of the door plays well with the aero skirt, which is very well matched by the bend in the middle of the spokes on the wheels. the rear 3/4 pic really shows that off.

i'm looking forward to your complete mod list... i see the front cover and the rear quad tips... this is going to look lovely!

thanks guys!

yea the mod list is pretty fun, though not many of it is performance related.

so far i have done the full M cat back exhaust retrofit, and the full front M bumper retrofit with headlight washers, the hood is next..... on the interior its the M steering wheel retrofit with paddle shifters, manual shift boot retrofit, Sport seat retrofit, full navigation retrofit, chrome line bits and having the center speedo sent out to have white LED's replace the stock color.

the suspention will have coilovers but thats down the road right now im sticking with springs. the 326M wheels with a 135I brake convertion on the front using the stock Z4M rotors. the rear brakes will have the 135I calipers also having to be retrofitted but that will have to wait as i only have the fronts done for now.

also getting the hardtop from a member here soon that will be real nice to have as come next winter this car is going to have to become my DD.

many have asked me why i didnt just buy the M, well as many know this was bought for my wife as she does not know how to drive a stick and i have always loved the M but also like the low maintenence of the N52 so this way i get to have a car with a multi personality disorder

You should take photos further back from different angles so we can see the finished product... m bumper, dual exhaust, aero skirts, style 326, etc.

Love the quad exhaust..wish I could find someone to do this mod for me. I'm crunched for time and it looks like it can be pretty time consuming. Looking forward to the "lowered" pictures.
