Honestly, I preferred the old wheels. Here's why...
-The wheels are simply too large for this car. Yes, I have seen 20's on a Z4 in person and they don't work. Especially with a lip. The Z4 looks better with a concave setup imo. -The offsets look completely wrong for the car. I'm not sure what your offsets are, but the wheels seem pretty tucked in. I can only imagine that lowering the car will make them look even less flush. -Your old setup looked incredible. Just because they were "too stock" doesn't mean they weren't the better looking wheel. Sometimes change isn't always a good thing. Now, I want to add that your car with the stock wheels is one of the main reasons I'm debating between a white Z4 or the new 1M. I absolutely love your car with the stock 19's. I just don't feel your new wheels fit the lines of this car. Obviously you love the look and that is great. I've had sets of wheels on my z4m coupe that I liked, but others didn't. It happens. In any case, i do look forward to seeing more pics. Maybe that will change my mind... |

Great Seats Carbon...
You will need to treat them extremely well... Arcantara is punishable if you don't keep your care to the finest. I had a simple BMW Wheels Performance, in summer my hands sometime used to sweat, and cleaning the wheels was a night mare (ie a lot of constant work) But I should admit the BMW Performance accessories rock!! |

Concave wheels would definitely look sick and i whought about that when i was searching for wheels. i decided to go for wheels with a lip as these wheels were always the design i always wanted. there was no doubt about that. i do not regret it. i simply love them. Quote:

Rori, the next step is mounting the seats. This is going to happen ono saturday. C'ant wait. Also scheduled is the drop. i will keep you updated as i do not know yet when we will be able to lower it. in the near future i am planning to change the interior and adapt it to the seats. i know a really good saddler not far away from vienna. i am thinking about something like that but without the carbon fibre lamination: on the top you can see the nappa leather with the white seam. in the middle alcantara.... also the armrest in the same design with nappa leather and white seam. like this: additionally i am thinking about laminating the titan trims in real carbon fibre. i have a quality supplier who is doing excellent CF lamination. The best quality work! yes, any news???? Quote:

I didn't gt my Z yet, otherwise you would have all noticed me posting pictures of it :-( the wait continues. we're getting at least 3 sunny days / week with temperatures around 20. that's heaven for Z owners.
on the other hand I'm praying the God of Sun to shine over vienna as soon as possible so Carbon can take his baby out of the garage and into the light so we can later appreciate some pics of his car...
