Hi,

I've gone 235/35 front and 265/30 rear. Both MP4S. Side view attached. I'll sort more photos tomorrow. 235/35 clear on the front. 245/35 would have been tight.

Looks much better than the M4 tyres 255/35 and 275/35.

I'm thinking about these with PS4s on my white Z. What do you think?

I've found out, whilst thinking about replacing my 326's that its really hard to decide if I like a wheel or not, mainly because I like the look of the 326 so much on my car and everything else looks "worse". I ended up using a free app (GIMP) and superimposing pictures of the wheels onto my car helped me to visualise the finished result on my car... I quite like the fact these look similar to the 326s and are not completely black, but personal opinions will be varied I guess... Good luck choosing!

Here's a quick effort at doing that (if it helps!)

Strom STR-2 recently fitted -

Front 8.5x19 et 35
Rear 9.5x19 et27

Really happy with the look, very similar (but cheaper) than the Apex ARC-8

What tyre sizes do you have there? I'm looking at similar offsets, want to avoid any rubbing

Thanks

They look great, but what’s going on with the passenger side front? Did the tire fitter struggle to balance it for some reason? A lot of weights for a new wheel?

I have tpms sensors fitted unfortunately so all the weights are directly opposite. Tried to get the tpms coded out but my guy couldn’t do it so had to buy new sensors to make swooping wheels back easy in the winter and have to put up with the weights
