Hi all,

Just picked up an early Zed with BMW 107's in 18's. I'm going to assume these are pretty heavy wheels? (Maybe someone can confirm) Is there any issues swapping with 17's - If not, whats the best looking OEM + wheel out there for the Z4? Love the look of the M wheels which i believe are 18's only and somewhat expensive!

If your main criteria is weight save then seek out some OEM style 32 18inch (17s weigh heavier )

Brilliant, thanks Wilks - Appreciate the link to!

Any difference between 17s & 18s in terms of handling etc out of curiosity?

Obviously 17s will give a more compliant ride due to taller rubber but 18s will ride fine if you choose decent rubber
"Paulgs1000" has a set of 18s currently on his E85 :thumbsup:
