Whilst I go figure out how to add photos, I'll start the thread going without them.
I bought these wheels refurbished about 3 or 4 years ago, and ran them variously with summer or winter tyres over the years on my 3.0si sport e86 coupe. There will be various photos of my car with these (and others!) fitted from meets throughout the last few years.
They are currently fitted with Avon Ice Touring ST tyres - which have seen use in a couple of winters and definitely add grip when it gets slippy (I have subsequently always bought winter tyres for our various cars).
The wheels are from an e46 3 series originally - chosen because they exactly match the standard Z4 e86 staggered sizes and offsets. (I guess the suspension has similar origins) I think they look great on the Z4 because they have an element of 3D look to the spokes rather than the flat faced MV2.
The wheels are OEM BMW M SPORT GENUINE MV1 STAGGERED 2 wheels - 8.5Jx18, 2 wheels - 8Jx18.
The tyres 225/40 R18 all round, as that was the general consensus on the forum at the time as they have a narrower footprint, and the M+S tyre sizes listed in the owners manual. Tread is 5mm on two (Guess these were the fronts) and 6-7mm on two (the fronts presumably).
They still look great, but there is an inch or so of mild grazing on one that a tyre fitter caused, and I've just noticed some kerb rash on another (see photos now supplied), and two or three nicks in the lacquer and paint where a guess stones have hit them over the years.
No real idea about price, so thinking £350, but if that's not reasonable then let me know as I'd like to move them on to a forum member rather than putting them on the bay.
Location for collection Leeds - although I do have an estate car so can drop them locally.
