Best Looking Wheels for Z4?

[TimboZ4]

I am looking to upgrade my wheels and tyres, currently 16's with run flats. What would be the best looking size/design of alloys for a 2004 Z4?

Hiya,

This question is too vague!

you can go to 17, 18, or 19 inch fairly easily and then you have thousands of wheel design choices.

I'd suggest you look around at various wheel manufacturer websites to see if a style and size catches your eye. Draw up a shortlist of perhaps 4 or 5 options and take it from there. You have to go with what you like really as there's so much out there, For me, a set of 19 inch wheels would be the way forward, from a manufacturer like ADV.1, Vossen, iforged, HRE, BBS, DPE. I'd personally also never go for a set of Replica's for instance, but you might !

cheers, Dennis!

Agree - I remember someone posting a picture of a Z4 with those wheels on - can't remember the name of the colour but it was a bronze type colour - looked the nutts - really, really nice.

I'm running £200 reps on my Z4 and i think they look ok.

Don't use it all that much so more than happy with them.

I think these are my personal favourite on a Z4.

My Z4 on BBS LM's. Spendy but worth it!

I have the split rims referred to by Luca, whilst IMHO they are the simplest and most attractive design, think long and hard before purchasing - I haven't seen a Z4 where they haven't oxidised badly, and being split rims they cost an arm & a leg to renovate.
I have seen some horrendous after market wheels on Z4s - typically provided by a tyre dealer as part of a package to replace runflats - and they initially look good but then rapidly corrode.

I would say 193M genuine BMW alloys from the current 3 series M Sports. I had these on my Z4 3 or 4 years back. Made the car look really fresh with an offset that filled the arches nicely.

For those who arent aware, this is the later 202 style ellipsoid like this:



This is the original and much more common 107 ellipsoid (my preference)



I think these are easily the best looking wheels for the Z4, to me they are perfection

However CSL, BBS LM or BBS CH-R all look good.

Also fond of these. 18" replica 260 style from the E92 M3

By far the best in my humble opinion
