What do you guys think, #125, 18" on the Z4?

some sweet 25 series tires.. LOL

i like the wheels in general, but i think that they look kind of dinky on z4's for some reason.. on the cars that i've seen that have them the rear ones seem to need more lip/spacers.

Even thought they are 18's like the M wheels they do appear smaller. 1. because whenever you add a lip it makes the wheel look wider but diameter looks smaller. 2. the spokes on the M's go all the way to the edge of the rim which gives off the appearance a larger diameter. I think over all they look good but I bet the cost will make you consider other wheels imediately.

looks similar to the M6 reps.

50 Yes / 50 No, at the moment

Guess its a little on the fence. Replica like these seems to be at a reasonable price ($500 shipped) ?

I am surprised that nobody doesn't just order four front M wheels for the non-M Z's. You can have the M-look!

That totally slipped my mind.. So if I order 4 front M wheels, it will fit on my 2005, 2.5? Is this regular fitment?

I think the M fronts are 18x8" w/ 42mm offset. http://www.kalach.easynet.be/style/style_224.htm
So they'll stick out 5mm further than stock in the front but be pretty much the same as the 18x8.5" ET50 stockers in the rear.

blacksapphirez is currently rocking stock M wheels (staggered) on his 2.5.

not a fan of this wheels

They're OK, I wonder what they weigh? I like the factory M wheels much better and would put some on my 3.0Si if I could pick some up for a reasonable price. Unfortunately, for about the going rate for used M wheels, I can pick up a set of new & lighter wheels. Looks, Price, Performance....
