My new wheels arrived today,they are Vertini Monaco's, 8.5 19 fronts 9.5 19 rears. Won't fit them till next year when we have some good weather. I'll keep the 326's as a winter set.

Where's the bloody smiley icon for SHEER ENVY!!

Love them.. had considered them myself with the 296 issues I've had... If you don't mind providing a write up on tyre sizes and what you're doing about offsets, I'd be grateful...

They are 8.5/19 et 35 front 9.5/19 et35 rear, tyres sizes will be 225/35/19 front 255/30/19 rear but with Michelin pilot super sports, the car is also lowered 10mm front & 15mm rear courtesy of eibach with 10mm spacers all round. I`ll get some pro advice tyre sizes before making that decision.
 
Its the spacer thing that worries me.. the thought of something sitting between the hub and wheels makes me shiver, given how hard the suspension/reduced travel on these cars is... Makes me think 'sheering' or worse. But I guess lots of people run them so they can't be that bad..
 
Interesting choice! Verry curious to see them mounted, so I am also curious for next spring :wink:

Worried me too but the new bolts i use are 12mm longer than standard and are of a very high spec that came from Germany as a package with the spacers made specifically for the Z4 E89 so i feel i`m pretty safe really, anyway i`ve had them fitted for the last 8 months now with no problems. :)
 
Are you leaving them on the kitchen work top?! My missus would kill me if I did that! Looking good though :)
 
Those look fantastic as they are, without the rubber :wub: Look forward to seeing them on the car!
 
I'd be staying well clear of curbs with those on!

Hope you're fitting tyres with ridges on to protect them, they look lovely
