Look like reps to me..

Probably worth it if the tyres are ok,i would bet they are shot though...

Interesting description. "No bad kerbing"

Minor kerbing all around then!

How can you tell from the picture...?

 

[Z4M-2006]

Rear dish doesnt look quite right and the centre cap looks like its protuding..

I could easily be wrong though.......

Also,OEM stuff doesnt fit the spread of cars that he advertises that these will..

They won't fit on a Zed.

They're fitted to a 5 series so the hub bore diameter is different to most other, and all modern BMWs.

Don,t let fatmikey here you say that he'd have to make em fit just to show it can be done

 

[Z4M-2006]

Most BMW's are 72.6mm,whereas the E39 was 74.1mm..

So they will fit with spigot rings..

Haha nothings impossible

My work of proving people wrong is over for now untill I get bored or too many people fit the same wheels to their z4 lol

They're on an e34 5-series which has a spigot diameter of 72.6, so unless they're on there with a spigot ring they will fit everything EXCEPT an e39 5-series.

However as the seller doesn't seem to know what they're from/for you can't guarantee that they're not 74.1mm and simply fitted with the spigot ring (preferably the slim aluminium/steel ones rather than the cheap plastic ones).

Originals were made in offsets to fit e34 M5s, e34 5-series, e38 7-series, e31 8-series. Plus there are lots of replicas around - usually with a cut & polished lip that the OEM ones didn't have (they were smooth polished). The e34 M5 ones has a clear lacquer on them and were very strong, and I know as I've done 100k miles, track days, 'Ring trips pot holes, kerbs, etc. on one set versus 3 sets of suspension.

As above a spigot / removal of should sort this issue, wont the biggest issue be the offset?

I would love a set of the 19" deep dish on the Z......I had them on my E39 when they first come out,in fact I think i was the first in the UK with a set..

[mr wilks]

[Z4M-2006]
