Wheel Suggestions for my new Z4 CPE
Hey everyone I have been trying to find some really nice tasteful 18" staggered wheels for my new baby. I just got a new 2007 Silver gray Metallic Z4 Coupe w/Sports package and Premium and I really need to give it a little custom personality. Also, if there are some factory BMW wheels that anyone has seen that look good, I can get any of them at cost as I work at BMW. Anything you have seen that looks really good on these cars I would very much appreciate the help.
Thanks, Curtis |

Really, my budget is whatever looks good but I would prefer to keep it less than $4000 for the set an I'd like to do 18's so I can use my factory tires and put snows on my factory set. Please keep the ideas flowing and if anyone as pictures of a nice set on their own car I would love to see them.

In reply to your price curiosity... I won't tell you the exact amount, but I will tell you that my purchase price on the car was less than $30k for a brand new 2007 with 77 miles on the car.

I love my car!!! I was not too sure I really wanted a Z4 instead of a 335i Sedan but I tell you, I am glad I went with the Z4 and on top of that I think I have decided to go with some of the BMW M-Spoke style 135 wheels that are the same size as the factory wheels. When I get them installed, I'll post up some pics!

PS. I'm not in a crazy hurry to change wheels, but would be interested in a less radical/expensive option (like good sticky non-run-flat rubber on lightweight 17's). Any suggestions (including optimal width/offset if different from stock) would be appreciated. Thanks. Last edited by vachss; 01-02-2008 at 05:51 AM.. |

There is something you need to know before you think you didn't get a good deal on the car you bought, and that is I am a warranty adminstrator for the local BMW shop so I got an excellent deal as I am on employee lease. So $32K... I would say you got a rockin' deal! !

Thanks for the advice. I'm thinking I will keep the stock 17's, but am wondering if I should stagger the widths of the tires when I change out the run flats. Even though I have 17x8's front and rear I'm thinking that when I change tires I may keep the stock 225/45 up front and go for 245/40's in the rear. I wouldn't think that this small an increase would be a problem on this width rim, but if anyone has opinions or experience on this I'd appreciate the advice.

I think you should go with whatever floats your boat. We all have opinions...but its your car and your opinion is all that really matters.
