Fun little informal and highly unscientific poll...

Which wheels do you have?
Which wheels would you prefer?

I have Style 108, also like Style 202

Love my style 241 star spokes, more so now the car is a bit lower and they’ve been spaced out a bit. 3D profile and concave shape is cool, and they’re super rare.

Well like DaveD I've also got an E86, but wheel options are the same as for E85s!

I really like 224s, but I'd always feel fitting them to a non-M would be a bit "wannabe"! :roll:

CSL reps are great too, but it's been done so many times.

Style 32s also look great, but my favourite just now are the 295s I bought last year from a forum member with an E89 who bought some 19s.

I like 5 spoke wheels on a Z4, but the bonus with E89 wheels is that they have different offsets, so sit much further out in the wheel-arches without needing spacers! Fronts are 18mm further out and rears are 10mm. And they're different. :lol:

Stock 224's on the M's for me. I think BMW really nailed it on this one - it matches the car so well, is the right size (18's are perfect IMHO), and they're easy to clean/maintain. Downside: they're heavy as hell, which describes many stock wheels, unfortunately.

On non-M's, I really like 135's. Here stateside, no Z4's got the 135's. The only car we received with that wheel was the E46 sedan & coupe with the coveted ZHP option package, a NA market-only spec. Also heavy as a boat anchor, and difficult to clean - when I had a ZHP I just went with Akebono ceramic pads and brake dust was a thing of the past. Great looking wheel IMHO.
