Z4 35i Should I go for 19" or 20"

evanirene · 08-06-2009, 12:35 PM

I am currently have 18" with RE050A on it.....thinking about to get 19", but I found out a nice set with 20" with good price. Should I go for the 20" instaed? Would be a lot bumpy road?><

19" is the largest rim that should be on this car. Anything over that starts to look out of proportion with the rest of the car. No disrespect to anyone with 20's. This is just my opinion.

19" would be perfect.
which rim you have in mind?

evanirene · 08-06-2009, 10:23 PM

thanks for all opinions.....^^

yes, I think 20" is way too big for Z4... 19" should be better idea!!!

BBS CHR..is the one I am thinking of it..

19's max. An 18" wheel with no dish and spokes extending out to the edge of the wheel may also look good IMO (has the effect of looking larger than a wheel with some dish or shorter spokes).

Let us know what wheel you end up with and be sure to post pics

Evan the CH-Rs are only available in 20s.

19s you will have to go with the normal CHs in black finish.

What are the proper offsets for the new Z4? And in general, what other body's wheels are matching? I was surprised to find E39 wheels would not fit my E60. What would fit the Z4. For example, I still have 17x8 E39 wheels that fit over M5 calipers. Would they work for a winter setup on the Z4 35i?

IMO 19"

Why not just get the factory style 296. I think they look great.

Sapphire Black would look good with a full matte black wheel for 1pc or a gloss lip with matte black center would look good as well.

We can definitely get you a concept going

Sounds great, how do we go about it from here?
my ignorance but wouldn't 1 piece in matt black looks monotone on black?
