Those wheels...

I don't think I've ever seen such small wheels on a Zed, I guess they are 16" rims, would 15's even fit over the brakes?

Those wheels make it look like a Mk2 MX5 IMO.

Just shows how wheels make or break a car visually.

Edit, they are 16" wheels.

A guy in my work bought a grey e85 with the 16'' alloys and they look absolutely rubbish when compared with my 18'' 107's.

Unsure why anyone would spec such a car with those milk bottle tops :fuelfire:

I must admit 107's are my favourite on a pre-facelift car, but for whatever reason I don't think they work on a facelifted Zed, same for 108's.
 
My winters are 16" and are the original wheels that came with my E36 coupe.
Have served me well over the years through winter snow and ice.
I'm actually a little reticent whenever I go back to putting on my 18" 108's due to the night&day difference in ride comfort that the 50 profile winter tyres give.
Maybe I'm just getting soft in my old age :roll:

Saves your wheels from kerb damage if you slide around on snow but she Looks so much better with the 108s and ragtop Chris :thumbsup:

I'll 'av u buzy lar..... just u wait.... 8) :lol:
 
I don't really mind smaller wheels, but the ones in that advert do look lost!

My Coupe came with 18s because it's a Sport - I just had to have the M-Sport seats. But I could probably have lived with 17 inch wheels.

My latest daily is an E91 325i, and it came on 16" winters - it rides really well. I must be getting old (just remembered - I am). :lol:
