Hi folks, the Z4 I hope to be buying has what I think are the wrong wheels, please correct me if I'm wrong. They are 19s but Idon't think they are Z4 wheels. I plan on getting them done gloss black anyway.

they look like aftermarket rims, with BMW centre caps... they're similar to BMW Style 120 wheels off a 6 series, but not...

if they're cheap aftermarket they will weigh a tonne, and probably have questionable centre bore and offsets. personally I'd ditch them and buy some genuine BMW wheels - 107s and 108s come up on here quite a lot.

They look naff! Looks like the previous owner also installed non-BMW centre caps too since they are faded.

They're ok and once they're black they might look better. If not I'll change em. :thumbsup:

Test drove the car yesterday and pick it up tomorrow and in the flesh the wheels looks really good on the car. They are either brand new or have recently been refurbed as they are immaculate.
