New old wheels! Update - They're on!

[Roundozo]

Hi all,

Just got back from an epic trip up to Hatfield in Hertfordshire to pick these up! I think they will look awesome on my coupe. Going to get tyres on them and some spacers on the rears this weekend! I know they are a little curbed but I don't have time to have them refurbished atm but one day.....



Also, the young fella who sold them to me said his dad just got a black roadster. Told him to tell his dad to join so if you have a son at uni near Hatfield and a black roadster with two tone 108's, Hello and you son seems like a nice chap.

Or it could be hello I'm the guy that lost a set of wheels due to my son selling them without me knowing!

Should look good when they're fitted.

Haha, he did assure me they were off of his old bmw. He's just picked up a nice E46 330ci. Had a nice set of CSL reps on so he decided he didn't need them. His dad's zed looks like it's wearing a Mr Wilks set of shoes.

Really can't wait to get these on. I hope I don't offend and everyone has their favourites but I personally can't stand the 108's.

I don't think these alloys suit the Z4, unfortunately. They just look too retro for me.

Bought a set of these for my E46 compact a few years back but never got around to doing them up.. I do like them but would be interested to see how they look on the z4 as ben says above if they suit it..

 

[Roundozo]

Please excuse my poor photoshop skills but here's what it should look like, I hope!

 

[Roundozo]

P.s. I don't think they suit the Z4 roadsters if that's what you mean. However in my mind they just work with the coupe. Sort of like a touring car wheel. They are also super light. I think it will also help that they contrast well against a black car. Time will tell......

Style 32 wheels came in a variety of sizes / offsets and were fitted in various guises to 3 series, 5 series, 7 series and even Z3's. Do you know the sizes / offsets? I assume they are as 18" from an E46 M3 (exactly the same offsets as 108's) and not the 18" from an E39 which would be too aggressive on the offsets.

Nice choice mate, I have a set in black for winter & they look really nice.

Decent photoshop skills there, u just need to learn the ALT + PRTSCRN keystroke for taking screen shots - no need to get the camera out

 

[Roundozo]

Haha, yeah, it was the work computer and at the end of the day so just took a photo instead.

I would have liked to put the 5 series ones on as they have a nice dish but as you said the offsets just wouldn't work. These are exactly the same as the 108's (8j, 8.5j and et47, et50)

My Z4 was on style 32's for a while (while 108's where being refurbished). I didn't look too bad IMO.

 

[Roundozo]

Annoyingly I haven't had time to get to the tyre shop today to get the rubber swapped over but I couldn't resist just putting the wheel up against the car. Looking forward to getting these fitted properly.

I'm gonna have to eat my words based on that pic. They look great there. Can't wait to see them fitted.

The black Roadster above (body's) also looks good.

Always had a like for the 32s & going silver against dark paint should work as pic shows
Getting the tyres,susp ,offset/spacers all sitting right will also enhance the appeal , looking forward to seeing the end result

Can't wait for the photos when fitted what size spacers are you fitting?

Thanks for the comments everyone. I'm like a kid at Christmas again!

Spacers wise I'm going to try 15mm, 18mm (hard to come by) and 20mm. Personally I'm thinking the 18mm will be best. She is a DD after all.

I had 30mm on my 107's when I bought the car only rubbed on real hard compression it did look killer though.

Hi everyone,

So the style 32's are on! I'm waiting for some spacers for the rear but still happy with the outcome.

After;

I prefer them to the 108's!
