What do you think about these wheels on the Z4?

Beyern Mesh.

Are they chrome or silver? They look chrome to me.

That';s a nice wheel; the polished lip is pretty cool. But I prefer a more open design.

Personally preference - I think the wheels themselves look great, but two things. First, I don't think the design works for the new Z. I don't know how to explain it, but it's too complicated, there's too much going on, and deep dish doesn't work for me on this car. It does on the E85, though. Secondly, the only sensible option on a white car is black anyway

It's hard to visualize. Maybe try photoshopping these wheels on a Z4?

I don't think rims should come in any color other than black! Did mine black and it looks WAY better. I get more looks and compliments with black rims. At the gas station, an older gentleman asked me "Is that the Z8?". I was like "Nah, I wish"

I dont know if it was intended but "Bayern" is written with a Spello. If you like these kinda rims you should check out the new Breyton Spirit R.

Personally, I think black wheels need to be put on the shelf for a little bit.. everyone is doing it, and even manufacturers are making it a factory option

I think the wheels would look good OP (hopefully they won't be 20s...)

Also, I think a textured "machined" finish looks really good. I don't have a pic but I saw this on a Porsche a while ago, where the outer face of the spokes had a smooth / shiny polish but the inside had the textured finish.

Those are great looking wheels but I am just unsure if I want to put on a CSL replica on my Z4. I had the CSL wheel on my E46 M3 and 135i and loved the look, but I think that I want something different this time.

My real debate is whether a wheel with a lip will look good on the E89 Z4.

Good catch.. Does this put those wheels in the same category as "Rollex" and "Bolex" watches

I had them on my e46. They were ok, but if you are going for mesh I'd recommend the linea cores Lm from wheeldude. I did that upgrade and I was super happy. The step lip is looks way better.

Best of luck
