Wow! they look amazing on the e89!
and your ride looks absolutely awesome!

thanks for the video, thats 200% made my mind up for me!

My Zed is a red one, so I think these will look great!

The one in the video isn't mine. I have a white 35is :) I have been looking for those wheels as well though.

i found them at a website called wheelbase.
Although i got them much cheaper through my local tyre shop. they are good guys down there, been using them for as long as I can remember.

they got a hold of their regular supplier and although they didnt stock them, they ordered them specially which i thought was quite good.

for the wheels and a full set of tyres it came in £300 less. So I placed the order. I've gone for 19" though, the ones in the video were 20"

since enquiring, Wheelbase have done nothing but pester me, I dont like the hard sell, so there was no way they were getting the business.

great looking Zed though, I dont normally go for white cars, but i have to admit the e89 in white does look very appealing

For me, it would be the second set.
Black cars look good on black or exceptionally shiny silver wheels.

I would be inclined to go for 18" rims. The larger tyre wall afforded by the 18" set of rims just looks
more balanced on the black car. You also get the benefit of a more settled ride and improved grip on
poor roads in the country, where the Z4 is at it's best.
White 435d Gran Coupe, M Sport Plus, Auto, XDrive, Active Suspension, HUD. Stage 1.
Sadly May 2021 said goodbye to my red Z4 hello to Cayman 981S.
Looking for Z4 35is for wifey.

I like the first set. Ive seen them on a few Z's lately, they seem popular.

instead of buying online though, do go check if your local tyre shops can get them, I saved myself over £300 that way.
online retailers try to fleece you for the tyres in their package deals
