What to do wheel wise

Colour of them against the grey car & stance re arch gap

Wow that's the first the I've ever heard someone complain about either of those. The colour thing is obviously due to the overcast day the photo was taken because I usually get no end of compliments. And arch gap, well that's just personal preference regarding practicality of not having the tyres scrub the guards every time I hit a bump. It's stock suspension.

Sorry for any offence those two things stand out to me , id prefer the car lower & the wheels in high silver but that's not a criticism , purely personal

And that's fair enough as personal preference. I'm ok with that. I was just showing the OP another valid wheel option to consider. I wasn't expecting to be derided for it (that's aimed more at Angelus666). Saying "no offence" and then saying something offensive is still a bit rude.

Some may look at my ZMR & say the same Re colour of the wheels or say its too low its just how i liked it

It's probably the angle of the shot, but suggesting those wheels with that picture would actually put me off even considering them. Look back over the other suggestions and even the pic in Mr Wilks signature....all of those options look much better IMO.

This shot, and these wheels look much, much better.

Indeed, each to their own. I'll have to get some better photos for when I share in the future.

On which subject, I have a set of Eibachs in my garage (two of which are still attached to dampers). You’re welcome to them once we’ve worked out the logistics of covering the 1000km between them and you!

There’s a weird visual effect in your photograph as it almost looks like the rear wheel has positive camber, but the wheel and car colour combo looks great.

Cheers mate, I forgot about your offer for the Eibachs! I'll have to do some more research into them to see if the drop won't be too much with the wheel offset.

I like that colour combo too - had it with my roadster and was tempted to get my CSLs refurbed in anthracite. Silver Grey is quite a bright silver/blue in good weather, so there are no issues with contrast (especially in Queensland!).

Arch gap generally equates to suspension travel so you makes your own choices there. It’s a precious commodity on Z4s - our wheel arches are tiny and the cars are surprisingly heavy. If you look up into the arches of a lotus or recent Porsche GT they are cavernous.

Rectilinear correction. Check out my sweet front neg in this...

“Rectal linear correction” just sounds painful

Fnarrrr!

I love the standard Z4M wheels. I think they loook great and 18" seems to suit the suspension. The Z4M is a classic now, why tart it up?
