Nice find! Perfect fitment.

I test fitted style 37 M parallels to my Z4, just for fun

These are from my e39, 235/40 R18 8J ET20 front and 265/35 R18 9J ET24 rear.

Does anyone know a shop that would have style 37 (M parallels) good replicas with 3 series offset? I can't find anything... I really like the look but it's a no go with e39 offset.

The e38 7-series, e31 8-series, or e34 5-series offsets may work...if you can find them...and they'll have the correct centre-bore size, so no need for a spigot ring to make them fit.

I had a set of the e34 ones on my Z4M for a few weeks whilst I had my 224Ms refurbished.

e38 7-series

8jx18 ET13 front
9.5jx18 ET25 rear
10.5kg a wheel

e34 M5

8jx18 ET20 front
9jx18 ET22 rear
10kg a wheel

e39 5-series

8jx18 ET20 front
9jx18 ET24 rear
10.5kg a wheel

e31 850csi

8jx18 ET13 front
9.5jx18 ET25 rear
11.5kg for the original wheels, and later ones were 10.5kg a wheel

I had the forged type 37 wheels on my e34 M5 (only version of this wheel that was forged):

I'd need ET34+ at least. The wheel needs to be completely under fender or I'll be illegal...

Lush. I’m keeping an eye on something like this whilst my 108’s still have life enough to be of value.
