New wheels fitted,opinions?

Before....

After....


From 17 inch Rf`s to 18 inch non-Rf`s.
Need a good run out to find the differences between the tyres.
Oh and before anyone points out the dirty car,i washed and polished after the pictures were taken.
Also i promise to order some new centres and clean up the wheel bolts before anyone sees them........and to sort out the soft top finish as well.

Did you get them from BM-Autosport by any chance and they are x9 square setup? Just curious. Look good.

What is that on the edge of the door mate? :?

to stop the edge of the door having chipped paint/dents

 

[Pabs]

Really suit it.
At this rate 103's are going to be a rare sight on the roads, mine came off today.

Kartman,yes indeed from the nice people at Bm-Autosport.

Jonny,they are door edge protectors that the previous owner fitted and I havnt got around to removing yet,its on the list.

Glad the opinion is good,i couldn't find a picture of them a Z4 anywhere and just took a punt,i really like the look.

Just out of curiosity, are you selling your rims or keeping them ? I am looking for some 17" to run my winter tyres on.

Looks like it need a drop using Sport springs. Not to much though like these young folk on here like.

Agree - the wheels are lovely but it needs dropped a little and Sport springs would be perfect

I have 103s as my winter set, not very pretty but my 108s are still in good nick after almost 2 years :wink:

 

[Danderton]

Nice wheels, and nice colour zed!

Agree that it needs lowering slightly, even using m sport springs rather than aftermarket as mentioned above.

I think they look good just me although I did spray mine anthracite as the laquer was peeling off

I read that as "Those meddling kids"...something out of Scooby Doo! :lol:

After those mentions of lowering and checking the pics it does indeed look quite high.

Have been for a good hoon this afternoon and rechecked the ride height.

Things are now looking a lot better.



Ndb,plan on keeping the old rims for winter duty,gotta keep the good uns good
