New Shoes and Socks

[Chidda]

So I got some new shoes and socks for the boy today after trying hard (but failing) to love the 108s:



Got some refurbed Style 32 staggered rims - exact same offset as the 108s.
Then wrapped them all in Goodyear F1 Asymmetric 5's 225/40 front with 12mm spacers and 255/35 rear with 15mm spacers.

Gives a much better overall look (in my biased opinion).

Looks good.
How many miles were on the old shocks? What shocks did you put on and how's the ride?

No new shocks - sorry, I was trying to be cute with "shoes and socks" rather than "wheels and tyres".

Very tidy look. 8)

The 32s are a good bit lighter than the 108s (or any other 18inch Bmw wheel for that matter ) so its a winwin situation

Yeah. I couldn’t believe how light they were when they arrived. Spent a couple of hours this weekend whacking a couple of coats of Maxcoat wheel guard sealant on the before the tyres were fitted.

To the best of my knowledge there isn't a lighter OE Bmw wheel in any size than the staggered 18inch 32 with et 50 et 47 from E46 ( all the other sized style 32 are not lightweight )

 

[Mr Tidy]

They look great OP.

I've always liked the look of the 32s, and they make a change from the 224s and CSLs so many Coupes have now.

 

[Jollyjoiner]

Looks smart

 

[Haggisman]

Wheels suit the car and as has been said, a change from csl’s etc. I am a fan of lightweight wheels, reducing unstrung weight where you can does make a difference though more so on the track than the road. Nice looking coupe.

That's a bit harsh isn't it? Taking the p*ss because someone (not from the UK) might not know the slang for tyres and wheels? :thumbsdown:

Seems to be a trend developing here!

Mods.....do we have to put up with this numpty?

My 7-y-o grandson is taking an interest in Zs and occasionally looks over my shoulder at this forum.
Obviously I keep him away from the NSFW threads, but do I now need to vet every entry for language like this?

 

[Tinker15]

Hasn’t this idiot been banned before?

 

[JamieZ4C]

But he has Spax suspension and deep dish alloys, therefore he knows more than anyone on here about modding a Z4

OP, the wheels look great and I'm a big fan of the colour. I'll consider this for my own 32s when the time comes to refurb

 

[Oh4show]

Calm down grandad my sons 8 and hes certainly not interested in the the z4 forum and I'm definitely not an idiot that's for sure maybe you should get banned for saying that you dont here me crying to moderators oh yeah because I'm a man.
