Very exciting delivery today courtesy of the great people at BM Autosport. They won't be on my car for another few weeks so I had to post up a picture now. Genuine BMW Style 152 individual 18":

Very nice! Love the simplicity of these. What are they replacing? I've a set of ellipsoids on mine and keen to change for something a little more subtle.

Thanks! I have MV2s at the moment, which I don't dislike but I fancied a change and three of my existing wheels would benefit from a refurbishment. Cosmetically they look good but have some surface corrosion that has caused slow air leaks in the past. I'll refurb the MV2s when I get round to it.

Nice choice, they really stand out as such an unusual wheel to see on a Z4

I'd like to see some pics when you get them on.

Thanks - I wanted something you don't often see but also OEM. I'm having work done on all four brake calipers. That will necessitate taking the existing wheels on and off the car so I'm going to wait until afterwards, just in case any of the wheels incur any knocks during the work.

They look great, especially with that centre cap to cover the bolt-heads, and are certainly different to what people usually go for.

Looking forward to seeing how they look once fitted. :thumbsup:

Thanks - it does mean I can dodge buying new bolts to complete the look :lol:

I really like them. And not seen them before so thumbs up for something different.

It's good to see something different too!

Back in April I met up with 4 other Z4 owners and 4 of the 5 had CSLs/Reps. That's when I decided to get my 224s refurbed as they were probably far less common. :)

These look great. As someone has already said, I like the hidden wheel bolts. 👍👍

Thanks for the positive feedback :) I'm very happy with them. I wanted a change from the MV2s that I had on and it took me ages to settle on something. I have seen at least one picture of another coupe on the forum with these wheels fitted, but they do seem to be relatively rare.

I can’t get away from the fact that I do like the CSL wheels on the coupe very much, however like you I’m looking for something a little different like the bolted 78’s. I do think the 152’s were a great choice.
As previously mentioned I have a set of bolted 18” 78’s already on my Z3 and they look fantastic. I’m seriously thinking of putting them on my newly acquired coupe,

In addition I have now got a second set of staggered 18” style 78’s which I have for sale with or without tyres if you know anyone interested.
