Totally agree we with you. That's my favourite wheel I've seen on a zed. Just didn't know what they were called.lol.
But I've seen quite a few with them on. I wanted something a little different from every1 else. :thumbsup:

Hi every1. After 2 years of owning my z4.dont think I've done 1000m init due to ill health. and that's includes taking it to Forza to have the services done. Anyway enough of the sob story :(
Ive finally getting around to tinkering with the car. I fitted my sound system. Fitted a text alert system.BUT CAN'T DECIDE ON WHEELS... I've narrowed it down to two sets. Can I please have your opinions. Because after i buy them im stuck with them. Wife said :headbang: forgot how to do pics.but they are 19" AXE EX15 think they look a bit like the mv2s or thats just me.or the AXE EX18 both from bm autosport. Thank you for taking the time to read this xxx

Ok . so have you a preference for 18 or 19 & guessing you are happy with non factory with the ones you have linked ?

If i was wheeling up a montego blue Si right now id most likely be exchanging my £ for a set of these Veeman's :wink:

19" I think. But I thought I narrowed it down to two but they are a nice wheel. I was trying to match the black with the rest of your car if you get what I mean without going with a completely black wheel

Wheels won't lower the car :? they will fit straight on & also have 8j width fronts which work perfect for E85 E86 .

Et 35 8.5j fronts wouldn't be on my " to do " list but they could work on your Se roady if you drop the tyre sizes on front to maybe 225 35 ? If they do rub after that then 215 35 should cure it . ( may only be a issue on compression / turning into bends at speed )

I think they look really good but the lacquered finish always starts to look bad if you drive it through the winter months with them on, so I would always stick to a paint or powder coat finish. I also always think if you break one will you get a replacement in a couple of years.

They do look good though

Mines the one on page 1 with the 19" Axe EX14 black 5 spokes with 235 front tyres and 265 rear tyres. ET 35 and ET37 I believe. I have lowered sport suspension and no rubbing issues what so ever.
