Why not go for some OEM ones?

I think these would look great for the Z4. The twist on the spokes are similar to all the nice edges and lines on the Z4.
Also the Type 225 would look great.

ooo the m6 ones actaully do look good!
Done some scouting around on here for people who have the same or similar wheels and ive done my best at trying to make their cars look black, without the aid of photoshop.
Anyone got any further comments / thoughts with these pics added?
Same wheel as first link..
Similar wheel to fourth link..

The M6 wheels, in staggered fitment, get my vote. 
The car appears far more "exotic" than with any of the others. The CSL wheels were nice in 2005 however time has moved on and they do not look as good as they did IMO unless fitted to an E46 for which they were designed. :wink:
M6 wheels in 19" guise all the way and do not forget they were actually designed for the bangle era BMWs, ala 6 series so look the part! Five spoke wheels are a favourite of mine on the E85/86. 8)
With your front bumper and M6 19"s, everyones a winner.
P.S. Theyre also much easier to clean than all the rest too.

Forth link for me. looks good. Wasn't that style known as the Hockenheim once upon a time?
I think the old Alpina multi spokes would look the business too, bitch to clean tho. Used to have a set of 18s on a compact many moons ago. Not the best picture in the world but you get the idea.

Yeah I here what you're saying DannyBoy. I had a set of 18" M6 replicas on my old 1 series, they looked the part on there even as 18s with non staggered fitment. Have to admit they were quite easy to clean and never really looked dirty with the anthracite inserts between the spokes as that hides brake dust very well. I think a large 5 spoke looks awesome when the car is driving slowly aswell

Are you referring to the TSW Hokenheim's ? I remember those back in the day. Always fancied a set for my Nova. Either those or a set of TSW alpines, or Momo Arrows
Thanks for your advice Dannyd, although Im not a fan of the Alpina's. A friend of mine has got them on an early E46 328. Just think they look really old now.

This all the way. I'd love the 19" M6'ers on my coupe.
Well I have ordered the wheels.. They will hopefully be delivered tomorrow so I get chance to put them on over the bank holiday
Unfortunately they have sold out of the tyres and the Falkens are on back order until end of July with the troubles out in Japan and thats pretty much the case at most of the tyre suppliers on the net and around my local area.
So I have taken a step out of the comfort zone and ordered a set of Avon ZZ3's 235x35x19 front and 265x30x19 rear and will be getting these mounted to the rims on Saturday all being well. Was a little unsure wheter to go with these but they seem to get good reviews on the net, albeit mixed reviews on here. I guess the proof will be in the fitting.
Can't wait to see them mounted on the Zed now

Any one wants to photoshop feel free.
Hmmm. Not so keen on those.. Although they may be one of those wheels that look great on the car. If it was me and I had a silver coupe, I think i would be looking at a graphite coloured wheel to contrast the paintwork maybe?
Reading your other post, seems like you have some nice mods lined up for it. Look forward to seeing them.
