Wheels sorted on the Z4...

[AB]

After 2 changes in 3 months, I've bought these today:




They come with Kumho tyres which have only done 1000 miles - they will do me fine for the summer, although I've never been keen on using budget tyres as a rule.

They are Italian replicas, I'm told decent replicas but replicas none the less. I thought for the price, it was worth it in tyres.

£300 notes.

Let's see them on the car then!

I've got to pick them up yet!

Sussex is quite a trek!

I wouldn't call all Kumho's budget tyres:

Please don't post pictures like that Sniff, it's not helping!

Ah but if they were good Kumho tyres, I'm pretty sure he would have mentioned it.

Can't wait to get them on the car! It's currently with BMW having the rear repaired after someone ran into the back of it. I have had them put the clear 3rd brake light in for me so quite keen to see that.

I am looking into an Eisenmann exhaust too.

Then I am needing to sort the front end after a scrape and run incident in a car park - just need to source a Z4M number for decent money.

Are these 18 or 19 inch? Staggered fitment or same front and rear? I think these are one of the best alloy design for a Z4 out there!

You wouldn't have used that argument for Avon Tyres in the late 1990s... thinking of the Avon ZZ1, here. The best plastic tyres money can buy.

They are 18 inch non-staggered.

I would imagine going to 18 inch from 17 and doing away with the run flats will mean the ride is pretty much the same?

I agree re them being the best design for the Z4.
