For sale a set of TSW Spa Alloys. I have used them for 3 months durng the winter with winter tyres on (tyres not for sale).
I bought them from Halfords, they are 5 stud and 35mm offset.
Their condition is as new.
I don't have any pictures, but here is a link asto what they look like http://www.performancealloys.com/wheel-details.aspx?id=322
I can assure you they are as new.
Reason for sale, I found out that !6" wheels shouldn't be fitted to the 3.0L so I have bought a set of 17"'s for next winter.
Cost new £350ish.
Offers.
 
Shouldn't be fitted? According to who?

16"s a recognised size for winter tyres for the pre-facelift 3.0i, can't remember if that was in my manual or advice I got from local dealer, or both.

My handbook and the doorpost don't give 16" wheel pressures, I assume it's because of brake clearance and the 3.0i being 30mm lower.
 
Ah OK. Did you actually have the 16"s fitted to your Z4?

I'm plying you qith Q's as I ran with 16" BWM 104 style with winter tyres for 4.5 months over this winter. Yes there is clearance with the standard brakes on a 3.0i 231ps (although is is quite tight), but not with the later 265ps facelift.

BTW the 3.0i is only 15mm lower than standard (although 30mm lower if you're on Eibachs like me). But ride height doesn't make a difference as the overall wheel diameter is the same as a 17" or 18" if you use the correct aspect tyre.

Yes I did run with them but I was on my old 5 series winter Tyres which are 225/55R16. I believe the Z should run on 50 profile Tyres. I did have issues with clearance on the wheel arch liners, my fault for runningon the wrong Tyres.
These wheels are in perfect condition and would be ideal as replacements or winter wheels, as I said before I'm open to offers.
