20"x10" Wheels
- Thread starter Marcoose
- Start date
This is a longish thread from a while back but if you skip through it you come to the part where the owner installs 20" Breyton Race LS wheels: everyone will have their own view on the aesthetics but they looked so good to me I came close to ordering the same. https://z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=38228
Except - when I did a little digging and found another member who'd followed the same thread and actually bought and fitted them: it turned out he'd put them on, driven it around the block and was now trying to sell them because there was a substantial amount of rubbing. Expensive mistake.
What the original thread didn't mention was that in order to get a fit the originator had to cut away and modify quite a lot of the wheel arch liner on all four wheels. If I remember correctly he was a workshop manager (or similar) in a large premium car dealership in one of the Scandinavian countries so had access to facilities that enabled him to do this, hence the considerable amount of detailing in the thread (worth a read just for this).
If you look on the Breyton web site they show a red Z4 wearing Race LS's - this is the car whose owner drove it once, which is a bit naughty as it suggests they fit OK.
20's may appeal but it's not always a straight forward swap.

20s look just a bit too big for the Z4 and probably destroys the ride. 19" is the right size for this car, IMHO!
Think it depends on the style of wheel....those Breytons would probably look big in 19” guise as well due to the spoke design, nice wheels though. These are 20’s and look spot on imho, also this E89 looks like it’s on standard ride height, something that helps a lot with not making it look ‘Overwheeled’.

I don't know but to me they still look a bit too big. I do like the Breyton LS wheels though, if I was going to spend that much cash I'd go for that style in 19"
