I know, I've been trying for hours! :lol:

I need to replace a smashed alloy , so got to change from a set of BBS LMs, and quite like the look of these.

Got me excited then, thought there might be pics of them on a z4

I've got a small dish on mine now, on the BBS LM reps, so I know I like the look:

Also, the dish isn't huge, these pics seem to disguise the lip somehow :lol:

 

[Mafoo]

What make of wheel are these ??? Cant quite make it out off the photo.

 

[T2FFN]

BSA is all I know :?

Personally, I love deep dish look but it's getting the right style and as for the one in your first pic - not too sure about the inner style. Again dont be offended as it's only my taste/oppinion.

 

[T2FFN]

I wouldnt be offended, just asking peoples thoughts, good or bad.

Bottom line is I've smashed an alloy so need to replace them asap. I dont think I can get a replacement so gonna have to swap the lot.

I was actually thinking the other day I thought a 'solid' inside rim would suit the car, as open rims, in my opinion just dont suit my z4.

 

[Mafoo]

I agree, solid rims do look good on a Z4 (ellipsiod arguably the best OEM alloy). Not sure on these though and would have to see a picture of them on a car. I found one set on a PT Cruiser that look awful. However, they are on a PT Cruiser

If you like them go for it !!!!!!

 

[czechT698]

I dont like them at all... they dont suit the car... you could get some appreciation in ghettos though

 

[T2FFN]

Hmmm, I was liking them (or talking myself into liking them)

Maybe silly, but will these fit? I love them on the 5 series.

Worried about the offset, as my car is lowered as in above pic. Wheels mst be 19" as I'll be keeping my tyres.

Also, can a 235-35-19 be used on a 9.5" wheel? Stretched?

 

[De4n]

done a very quick photoshop

not sure if they suit

Horrible looking wheels for the Z4. Too heavy looking for a sports car.

Perfect for some sort of pimped up street ride

Have to agree, they look a bit too heavy for the z4.....what happened to your lm's ?

 

[Mr Whippy]

If you are planning on getting into selling drugs, go for it :evil:

 

[sammyz]

Don't like them, too heavy looking.

 

[T2FFN]

A resounding NO then

I trashed one beyond repair

The seller of my BBS LM's has emailed me saying he can provide a single wheel so I'm just going to replace the f*cked one.

Thanks guys

Ive seen some 5s around here with them and they are very good looking. Wanted some replicas but the ETs were like 20. Rear was 9,5 which is extreme, too much combined with the low ETs - they will stick out a lot and even when fitted with 235 I doubt that it will be OK. Not to mention that to achive the "same look" up front with the 18x8 or 18x8,5 you would have to go with a tire (not sure, being satirical) of a width of "195/40/19" which would not only look corny but you might slip if taking a turn too fast or too agressively. I would suggest you to get some fresh replicas with decent ET values and widths to achieve not only a good look but also handling.
