Really liking the wheels Marlon. The red and black looks just right....Im a bit biased towards black wheels though 
Red cars and black wheels really dose look great

I didn't really know much about the style 32s until Mr Wilks alloys came up for sale. They are quite rear aren't they - really suit the Zed and look great in original sliver on you Coupe
To be honest I didn't know about them until stumbling across a set for sale. Always liked alloys with a lot of spokes (kind of like the touring car alloys of the 90's and 00's). I think they are rare in our format (8.5J) as most sets for sale seem to be the larger offset for the 5 series. I may be wrong though.
What I do like is the fact they are easy to clean (unlike the old mv2's I had on my 3 series) and they are a lot lighter than the 108's I had. They also won't suffer corrosion like the 108's.
Anyway, great choice Marlon, car is looking a peach!

Thanks Roundozo. Yes, the wheel guru Mr Wilks was saying most sets were for the 5 series IIRC. They do have that retro look about them with lots of spokes. There's quite a demand for them too - I know within hours there was a lot of interest in the ones I managed to buy. Also, I agree that cleaning them is a joy compared to the MV2s - gave them a quick once over last night
The style32s were made for a variety of BMWs like 3 5 & 7 series + i think some Z3s :? the rarity with the ones you have Colin is they are 18inch staggered widths with the et 47 & et 50 offsets which are perfect Z4 fitment which were only available on some E46 3 series so finding a straight unbuckled , unrepaired set isnt easy
Most of the 32s were 17 inch or as with 5 & 7 series very low offsets of 20 which is a bit extreme for a Z4
They look well mate & unlikely you will see many Z4 Si roadsters with them on
