Are these too old school for our cars?
I've always been a big fan of the M-Parallels and was curious how they'll look on the M Coupe. The fronts of the OEM M-Pars are too agressive for the Z4 so these are replicas (18x8 ET35 and 18x9.5 ET25)
What do you think?

I got pretty burned out on M Parallels several years ago but to be honest...they look surprisingly good and fresh on the Moupe! Love the dish by the way.

Wow that looks awesome! I had been wondering what M Parallels would look like since they are similar to our stock wheels. HMMM maybe I should swap wheels with my dads car

yeah, which i like... but they are way more concave and the offsets would fit flush quite nicely.
granted, you may need a spacer in back to make it match the front, more neg front camber may need to be utilized, and the hub diameter is too big so installation would require centering rings... but i still think they would look great!

Thanks for your input folks
I spent some time looking for pics of Z4s with M-Parallels and could not find any. This might be the first and I'm pleasantly surprised how it turned out. Some noted that the MCoupe made the M-Pars look newer/fresher. I didn't think of it that way but that just might be why it works.
