Thank you for the kind words! I feel there is a little too much going on and it hides the big brakes compared to the factory double spokes. However they are lighter, wider, better offset than factory and they are rare in the US.

Does look good - wondering how the 219M in gunmetal would look against the black. I'm partial to that wheel, though they are very similar (and have the same specs).

I briefly tried them on my E86 - wheels fit nice though the tires were a bit less than ideal.

Here ya go! You were very helpful in knowing wether these offsets would fit the Z4M 😁

I stepped down to 235/40 and 265/35

hi JimBob0047
what tire size you put on those nice 260M rims?
are they stock sizes? F/R?

in the front, does it rub against inner wall ?
in the rear, does it hit the wheel arch edge when driving over a bump?

sorry for many question, i really would like to change mine to this 260M after seeing these pics on internet

235/40 F & 265/35 R, absolutely no rubbing and I'm lowered on Bilstein PSS10 coil-overs.

Those rims looks great on that bronze coupe!

Here is an updated picture lowered on the coil overs

Negative. Spokes are thinner and face is larger. Definitely 260M.

Just fitted set of these to my Z4M Coupe. Had them refinished and fitted OEM sizes Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyres - PS4S not available in the sizes.
(note: all same car, plate changed today between shots!)

How it should have come from the factory! ❤️
What size tires did you go with?

I knew that with the different wheel offsets (42/30 going to 29/23) and 8.5inch fronts and 9.5inch rears, the outside edges of the tires would be closer to the fender - going to wider tyres would bring them even closer. I'm not convinced that there's a major advantage in increasing tire width by 1-2cm, possibly minor in the dry and almost certainly a reduction in grip in the wet. I know some like the fatter look of wider tyres, but that holds no appeal to me - the car looks great on stock width tyres.

So I went with 225/45-18 fronts, and 255/40 rears - OEM size. The tyres don't look even slightly stretched onto the half inch wider rims. The car looks great on this combo

Turns out the tires on the 2nd hand rims I bought were run flats (Bridgestone 225/40 RE050A fronts, and 255/45 S001 rears) which I didn't realise initially - the Michelin Pilot Super Sports ride far better and are much quieter as you'd expect compared not only to Bridgestones, but run flat ones to boot!!!

Now I'm wondering about switching in some Bilstein B6 shocks all around (car's done 32,000miles, and there's a creak from R rear shock)....

It more about keeping the rolling diameter as close to factory as possible so you don't change chassis and electronic(like speedometer) dynamics.

Also I would highly recommend the PSS10, I've ran a few different cars with a few different suspension setups and unless you are a track rat the PSS10 is the way to go.

Those wheels look stunning on the car. Seems like such a great combination.
