Reminds me of a wrap job TLC Detailing did a couple years ago on an M4 which I thought was really nice. Great way to add some accent colour to the car.

A little visual update, I've switched the wheels for genuine BMW 788M's from an M2 Competition. I wasn't sure they were going to look "right" but I'm happy with the result.

The wheels are the same offset as the standard Z4 19's and an inch wider front and rear. If I was being picky I'd probably want the fronts to be a couple of mm further in the arches (they stick out 12.7mm further than the standard wheels) and the rear might look better if it was ever so slightly lowered.

Tyres are 235/35 & 265/30 carried over from the old wheels.

Very nice..is that a diamond cut type finish on the spokes?

If so wonder how they will last?

No rubbing?

Not entirely sure what the finish is, but they are slightly tinted in appearance so I think they must have some kind of lacquer or similar. The car they were previously on was a 2019 and I think had done around 15k miles - there's one very small mark on them but otherwise pretty much as new so I'm hopeful that's a sign they will be robust.

No rubbing at all - I'm tempted to try slightly wider tyres when it comes time to replace.
