Here's my Zed with 17" wheels. I've been looking at wheels for months now and the more I look at them the more undecided I get about which style and size to get. My other problem is I sometimes look at the car and think the wheels on it look ok. What's everyones opinion. Should I keep them or do they need to go? I also have no intention on lowering the car. It's non M Sport.

I think the 325m wheels are the best on the Z4.

They are big enough, and allow for enough bounce in the tyers. They look great on the car.

The 19s I think look a little too big.

I have seen sets of 325m wheels sell for around £500 on ebay.

Hadn't considered that style of wheel. They look rather nice

You are not too far away from me, I am in Paisley.
If you wanted to try a set of 325 wheels on your car to see what they look like give me a shout.
I have 325s as winter wheels now so they are off the car sitting in the garage.

That would be brill!!! I need to get the wheels free from the hubs though. They're stuck solid. Going to have to loosen the studs and move it around a bit to get them free. I'll definetely give you a shout though once I've done that. I take it they're 18"?

Wheels are such a personal preference, and for me the 325's are nice but not a major difference to the originals to justify all that expense.

I had the same wheels as you (and still do over winter), but couldnt really afford new wheels/tyres all at the same time, so when a set of immaculate 296's came up with reasonable tyres for £600 I went for it despite the slight worry of cracks! I much prefer the look of the car with bigger wheels on.

ps: 293's are nice too..

Forgot about the 293 turbine wheels!

I think they suit the none M msport version better actually, but they are 19” ?

The 325M don’t look much different in photos, side on, but they are an awesome wheel. Much different to standard.
The spokes curve out from the rim, and give a cool concave effect. Much like how the Z4 looks way better in person,
Pics dont do the car justice either!

I’ve got these, look like 296’s but they’re only 17”. For the life of me I can’t remember the style number all I know is they are a staggered set-up.

Thought you might want to see 19 326`s on a same colour car, to get an idea,

Thanks for all your comments, opinions. Going over to meet up with Zed Baron to see how the 19s look in the flesh
