Got around to fitting the winter alloys to the Z3 yesterday 
These are the same alloys slick has fitted to his 4. Fitted them with Vredestein Quatrac 3 all season tyres which have the snow/mud symbol so will be interested to see how they fare. Tyre sizes are 225/40 18 all round.
Unfortunately tyre fitter had to come back to the house this afternoon as one of tyres had been fitted wrong way round :? All good in the end

Thanks for the positive comments Quite pleased with the end result with these wheels considering they weren't too costly. It has kinda transformed the ride and sterring feel which surprised me, the Schnitzers were 8.5 width all round with Falken 452 225/40 fronts and 255/35 rears with 7mm spacers, new alloys are 8 width all round with Vredestein Quatrac 3 all season 225/40 front and rear. I found with the Schnitzers and tyre combination the car always felt jittery with some unpleasant tramlining depending on road surface. All that has now disappeared
