I am looking at these wheels for the Z.

I have 16" wheels now and want a different set for the street.

They are ok... but IMHO if you are going from 16" up, then you may as well go for 18's.

What about these (same seller)?:

Those are OK. I like the outer ring of bolts on the 17's. I am still looking though.

I really would like 18's. Just have to keep looking.
 
eww Ship, looks like a fat starfish, you can do better then that...

I have alway like the type 71. Everything being equal I prefer the look of an 18" wheel but do run 17" for my winter tires. However, the price at $850 seems to be a real bargain.... :thumbsup:
You should be able to fit 235/45-17 to those rims.

I agree with sp3ctre. I think the 18's are the way to go if you are going to upgrade.
 
Not a huge fan of the #71s. The outer rivets look cool, but make the wheel look like 15"s. I prefer sp3ctre's pick. :)

I would keep the 16" for winter and then pick up a set of 18" wheels. :)

Nah, not for me...
For that kind of money, I would get the 18" M6 replicas from Mod Bargains..
Check this out... http://www.modbargains.com/product.aspx ... Type_346_2
 
Nice wheels. Haven't seen any Z4s with those, though I've seen them before on a 3 series in person, and the design is nice. As Spectre mentioned, I think 17" might be a bit small. You should go at least 18" if you are planning on doing a complete wheel/tire upgrade.

You should check out LakeShore Wheel & tire online. They carry these wheels (along with dozens of others) in different sizes. The are replicas though, not OEM, but the quality should be pretty decent. Price can't be beat either.

It should be the last wheel on this page. Comes with center cap logos as well. You also get your choice of tires, and shipping is included. I'm sure you can get a decent package deal for right around $1k
