LE’s Winter Wheels
The spokes look too spindly for the overall shape of a G29, personally another set of standard wheels with winter tyres would look better but as long as you like them that's all that matters.

Lovely
Love the colour, but I have 2 red cars so biased
I was a fan of the G29 initially but I think these are looking nicer and nicer everyday.

Thanks. I couldn't find exact spec of the wheels in brochure. If 255 is minimum size, than I could get pair for the rear instead of 275 I currently have. I wanted to swap them to different brand, but having trouble finding 275 in reasonable price. 255 are cheaper and easier to find.sars wrote: ↑Thu Dec 23, 2021 9:58 am Roadster_Surrey, if you currently have 275/35 R19’s on the back the alloy is 10 x 19 ET40 and 255 is the recommended minimum width for that size alloy. I find the ride smoother and quieter with 255’s on the back, the downside is less grip in standard temperatures but that’s more to do with compound than width. You can feel the diff switching power between wheels.

john-e89, life would be dull if we all liked the same things, however here's someone else with taste tomscott, and thanks Tom, your eye is appreciated
Roadster_Surrey, I'm assuming from you avatar picture that they are Style 799M from the MSport Pro Package, whose/what tyres are you thinking of changing too?

Yes the wheels look great, shame you can’t use them all year round and really suit the car.
Now, Sterling grey Z4 2.2 with cup holders, stubby aerial and sport seats. Roadsters ‘cause they’re great with the roof down.
Ford Anglia, Red Sprite, a few MG midgets, MGB Roadster and yellow Ford Capri, all gone many years now.

They are both nice but I still for some reason prefer the winter ones, sorry. It might be that they look less blingy. Anyway either way it’s a nice looking car.

They look fantastic ! Nice how close they are in color to the trim of the car.

Thanks raven, the alloy colour is a pretty close match to cerium grey, though it’s called matt carbon bronze

Did a most boring thing on the New Year’s Day. I put my G31’s 19inch wheel on the Z4 as the G31 is currently running on the winter wheels. Style-wise, I don’t know what to say tbh. Maybe less aggressive than the non black m40i wheel?
Tyre-wise, it’s the 4th gen p zero run flat tyre. Rear is in the same size as original but the front is 245/40R19. I have to say it’s more comfortable and quieter than the PSS, which came with the car, even if they are run flat tyres.

That’s interesting, your G31 obviously also has a 112 PCD, has BMW moved from 120 completely? Agree the smaller width makes a difference in noise levels. I like the wheels, but not sure I like them on the zed, what’s the offset on the G31 rears, they look a little inbound
