Black Z4M wheels on Black Coupe ... Fitted!!

Thanks for all the kind comments guys. It makes all the time and effort that went into this project that little bit more worthwhile :)

@ Bing

I think in principle yellow calipers would look good but on the standard calipers I think its a no no.. They are too small to draw attention to IMO. At the minute I have them painted in gloss black. They dont draw attention to themselves but if you do notice them they look clean and have a nice appearance. Thanks for your input though and I will be leaving the yellow tape off. :thumbsup:

@ Halfcolin

I understand where your coming from and I thought this right up until fitting them hence the reason for purchasing the yellow tape. For now at least I will keep them as they are. :D

@ Spud

Car is Sapphire Black.. For me it was a choice between that and Ruby black. Both lovely colours!

@ Darren Slone


HaHa, Stealth city indeed.. The batmobile is almost complete. Just need to order my outfit off eBay :wink:

@ Sars

Thanks.. I like the look probably equally as much as my summer wheels but not more than. It's nice to have two different looks I think :D

@ Craig3.0

Thanks Craig.. As I said above, I still like the Cades wheels that little bit more but I love this look for the winter :).. I'd be very interested to see your 108's as I'm sure everyone else would.. Get some pics up!! :thumbsup:

@ dan yeates

It's typical isn't it that when I decide to fit them the temperature goes up.. We saw 18 degrees here yesterday :headbang: Back to 8 degrees this morning though so I think towards the end of the month they will become useful.. It's definately worth noting though that these tyres arent very good above 11 degrees. The traction control is constantly fighting. The tyres have only done about 20 miles though so not worn in yet.... I want some ice and snow... NOW!!! :driving:

@ markdesigns

I will look into the spacers.. I take it you got longer bolts? What do you do about the locking wheel bolts though? Thanks for your comment.. I too love the new exhaust :D

@ Tomscott

Stop spending my money. I'm supposed to be saving for a new house!! **cough cough; how much is it? cough cough**

@ aquazi

Thanks aquazi :thumbsup: .. Tyres are Falken HS-439 Eurowinters.

Would spacers have that effect.. I wouldn't have thought they would as you aren't changing the diameter of the wheel?
 
Ah, excellent. The Z4MC I have just bought (and will take delivery of this week, hopefully!) is the same black and I too will, at some point, probably look at having the alloys black. So you may see a near double of your car floating around Doncaster!
 
Congratulations.. A good choice sir :thumbsup:

Aslong as I dont end up getting blamed for being in places I shouldn't be as someone spotted "my car" :wink:

Get some pics up on here :D
 
Ye maybe but Christmas is on the way! Good present :P

There you go, seems prices are universal but it is £269. Sure you could fit it yourself, but BMW dont charge much for fitting, but most likely will get it wrong so I would do it yourself.

They really do look the business!
 
Thanks for that Tom.. We will have to see what Santa brings... I have been a good boy this year :D

Good work. Looks great!

Said it before and will say it again, "aero sills next......." :wink: :thumbsup:

Another one spending my money for me :lol:

I cant make my mind uop about them. The differences look quite minimal in the pictures I've seen especially on a black car.

If I could get some ridiculously cheap then I would but I'm not paying full price for them, don't think the bang for your buck is there!

Thanks for the complement DannyBoy :thumbsup:
 
Incredible, easily my favourite looking car on the forum.

I quite like the look of the carbon spoiler too. We'll have to do something to separate them, though!

I think your engine is enough to seperate them :D

Besides mine has different interior, different exhaust, different wheels, lowered suspension, carbon diffuser so I think we should be OK :wink:

Although when I nip up to Hungerhill it may get a tad confusing!

Are you anything to do with the roof stuff we're having done at the minute?

A colleague of mine is running that job.. theres been a fair few disasters with leaks etc, glad Im not a part of that one..

I've just recently completed the Y10 toilet modernisation project :)

Just need aero skirts mate

As I said earlier in the post.. I cant make my mind uop about them. The differences look quite minimal in the pictures I've seen especially on a black car.

Do you have any pics of yours fitted mate?
 
Yeah do I'll get some up but I do sort of agree the difference is minimal in pictures but in the real, a beautiful touch.
If I hadn't got mine so cheap I probably couldn't have justified it.
