Is that a leather stitched trim cover set or an OEM trim set? Looks ace!

Out of all the wheels I had, it's got to be the 224's followed by the 313's.

MV2’s for me! (Only had 1 Z4 though). I’d love a set of BBS split rims though!

Standard wheels, its another vote for 107s here.
though 193M/MV3s look nice as well, and fill the arches better without the need for spacers.

Love these, what widths and offsets are these ones?

For me though the best looking wheel for E85 has to be the above style 32s or CSLs in a dark anthracite.

If they are the genuine 18’’ ET 34 versions then yes, perfect - fitment in that photo is no spacers, very light forged BMW goodness :thumbsup:
