Mr Wilks did, promise at the time I had no idea!MACK wrote: ↑Mon Feb 04, 2019 1:37 pmI'd not spotted this thread till today, looking good!SamP84 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 16, 2019 5:29 pm Really enjoying my new wheels, they feel excellent on the road. Very minor difference to the 18’s but still great over London’s speed bumps and general terrible roads.
My neighbour has the latest Mazda MX5 which I think is a good looking current car. The thing that struck me was how the Z4 didn’t look 15 years older at all. Such a great design IMO and I’m loving ownership!
Is it me being biased, MX5 looks older? Love to hear people’s thoughts.
I love those Veemans on your car, they look great. I think Mr Wilks had them on his silver M at some point and they looked great on that too. What tyre sizes did you go with, I take it you haven't had any rub etc? I'm toying with moving up to 19s too. Don't get me wrong I love the 107s on my car but when you see pics like this you realize the 107s do look dated now and consequently age the car. How;s the ride in comparison to your 18s.
Have to completely agree regarding the MX5. I know I'm biased but I really do think the E85/6 has aged really well, much better than their Audi TT/ Porsche Boxster competitors of a similar vintage.
The MV2 looked pretty good on your car too, the picture just after you washed it, did it still have the spacers on then? I'm contemplating putting the spacers back on mine now I've managed to get rid of my tram-lining issue with new front tyres. I only took them off to see if they were part of the problem.
Tyre sizes for the 19's are front: 235/35/R19 rear: 265/30/R19, Yokohama Advan Sports. I must say I love the 107's and don't think they look dated at all. If I went back down to 18's that is what is going on my car.
The ride at low speed is the same (up to 30ish) and when pushing on feels good. Under load around corners no rubbing touch wood. It is early doors with these and since fitting 19's I had a few bits done which means it needs a proper alignment. With my 19's it does follow big cambers a bit more but this may be due to the alignment needing to be done properly.
I have always had spacers on with the MV2's and think the car looks great like that. M sport suspension, 18's with good tyres, bit of powerflexing on the front and a good alignment and these cars are excellent.
