Style 32's on a coupe?

[Roundozo]

Hello all,

I’d like some input/opinions (also if anyone is any good at Photoshop) to help me make up my mind about some wheels. I’m pretty bored of the 108s on my coupe and the fact they are black doesn’t help either. I don’t dislike black wheels but on a black car it’s all a bit too much in my personal opinion. An opportunity has come up to buy some 18” staggered style 32’s for a good price. I have had a look around but I can’t seem to find any pictures of these wheels on a Z4 coupe. Does that mean they look awful or has no one tried it? I just don’t want to make the plunge and then decide they look rubbish. All opinions welcomed!

The thread Zikim linked is was the black car I was thinking of.

Was I not clear enough with you earlier?

I think they look OK on the roadster but the rear wheels on the coupe need concavity or dish IMO.

I'm torn. I think they look better than the 108's but I know what you mean about being concave.

Argh the decisions!?!?

I like these. They'll need refurbing in some way but think they look strong.

Not 32s I know but spokey & concave :wink:

I've decided to buy them as its too good a deal to turn down. Will be picking them up tomorrow and will be swapping my tyres over on the weekend. Pictures will obviously follow.

This does mean I'll be selling my 108's. They will have no tyres however I can chuck in one spare part worn run flat that I have in the shed. They have typical 108 rash around some of the bolts. Black star with silver lip. Some curb damage but they are all straight and hold air etc. Was thinking around £290 for them. (Is that about right pricing wise?)

Heres a picture of them on my car.

Also, and Mr Wilks I'm hoping you'll know, what wheel spacers would work on the back. I'm thinking as they are the same offsets as the 108's, 15mm would be about right. The car is lowered on B12's by the way.

20mm for the back

Will that rub at all?

Would these fit?

I'd imagine they would. Just need to check the centre bore is correct.

I'm running 20mm on the back of my daily which has been lowered a little and don't have any rubbing issues.

 

[Roundozo]

Darn, think the centre bore is too small on those.

What size wheels do you have on these days NeilP? The style 32s are exactly the same offsets and widths as the 108's. Therefore will deffos need spacers on the rear as they're inside the arch atm. Want more poke but don't want rubbing.
