Just thought I'd pop this up - they may well be of interest to someone on here as they will fit a Z4.
They came off my previous E46 Compact.
 
Out of interest, was the powder coating a good move - more durable than the laquer?

And was antracite any better at hiding brake dust than the standard silver?

I've got MV2s already, but they look dirty so quickly and take ages to clean - so wondering about powder coating in a darker color.
 
In response to the PM and the message above (easier here)

The tread depth on the fronts isn't great, the rears are better. I don't know the exact tread depths and I don't have a gauge to check but I will take photos tonight of the tyre wear indicator bits.

I bought the wheels as they are - I was looking for Silver myself. They probably hide the dirt a bit better but they go brown with the brake dust. It is like night and day when you wash them.

For reference - the front tyres are ContiSportContact 1's and the rears are ContiSportContact 3's.
 
Here are some pictures of the power coating cracking and the tyres.
