So I am thinking ahead to Winter, and want to get a spare set of wheels now to stuck the winter tyres on. Now I am not bothered what they are, but I do know that you have to get same PCD, bore, etc. Does anybody know if there are other models BMW or otherwise that will match the z4, as most ads on eBay don't tell me enough info to see whether they will. Thanks in advance.

Hi..
I think you might find, that Z3 wheels - also fit the Z4..
Great that your thinking about winter tyres and winter wheels already.. A lot, tend to think about it in Oct' Nov' or Dec', when the winter tyre prices, are at a premium and at there most expensive..
You'll find that 16" and 17" wheels and tyres are a good bit cheaper than 18"s, for example..
Good luck with your quest for the winter wheels and tyres though..

Ah, you know me so well, been trawling eBay most of the day. Although, and don't shoot me, am tempted just to get winter tyres complete with steelies......mr wilks said:A decent set of 17's OEM BMW should not be more than £150 , , sell the tyres from them off ebay & get winter rubber well before october 8)
but then being a NDB you probably know the route already
Doooo it you can get some very nice steel wheels.
I think you'll find that Jaguar wheels have a larger bore so you would need spigot rings.

Here you go NDB , jump on these quick

mr wilks, checked it out thanks. Slightly confused though as this would change the overall size of my wheel from 24.97" to 25.74". A. Would this fit, and b. Would it not give false speedo readings?
What size wheel / tyre combo are you at now ?Nondizzyblonde said:
If i were to fit the 16's on my Zc ( which i couldn't due to caliper size ) then the diameter difference overall is approx 8mm with speedo deviation reading of 2 or 3 MPH which shouldn't affect the drive or safety of the vehicle .
