Z8 rims?

Eccentric · 01-13-2011, 08:42 PM

Might just be having a junior moment, but i really like the z8 rims, and the e38 7 series 5 spoke rims.

cant find weight specs for either but heres a pic of the 7er

Would either look okay/perform well on the z4m? Anybody know the weight of either?

I wonder if the offset would work. The rims on the 7 remind me of the wheels on the e46 zhp 2 piece wheels, which I think I've seen on a Z4 before and looked pretty good. Not feeling the wheels on the Z8 though.

Yeah i do love those rims on the 7. I've always been a fan of 1990's Bimmers, and these wheels bring the quasi-retro 1990's nature to the Moupe that i was looking for. Id like to inquire further and will repost soon, unless a fellow zposter already knows the answers and would like to share

Those wheels on the 7er remind me (a little) of Enkei RPF1s

Wheels with spokes that don't extend to the edges of the wheel make the wheel look small, IMO. It's a matter of taste, but I don't think they'll look right on the Z4M.
