You can't fit OEM M6 wheels on, but you can get replicas. Check out:

That'd be mine

They make different styles of the replicas too. Mine are the all-silver version, but they also make them with charcoal inserts (the area between spokes), or black inserts. I actually like the look of the charcoal inserts better, as it gives the wheels a little more contrast and depth, but they didn't have them in stock when i ordered.

But in any case, I'm sure you'll love them.

OK Roger, I think Im gonna get the M6 Replicas... but I have a question. How do I know what offset to get??? Honestly, Ive never purchased aftermarket rims because I really dont know how to order them. I have an email out to Mike at **********s.com for some guidance. I am wanting the M6 replicas in 19x9.5 rear and 19x8.5 front (Silver/Gunmetal)

Do these weight less than my current stock M wheels??? Hope so...

Any help in ordering would be appreciated!

Hey Chad,

Glad to hear that you are finally deciding to get the M6 reps! I believe you'll want the same fitments as the E46 M3, which based on the chart at **********s, should be 35 offest for the front, and 20 offest for the rear. Rubbing shouldn't be a problem with these measurements. It'll actually fill up the fender quite nicely and give it a more aggresive stance. The only downside to getting bigger wheels is that it can make your fender gap look more pronounced (Eric, you remember the MZ4x4, right? ).

Can't wait to see them once they're on! Are you going with the all-silver finish, or the silver/gunmetal finish?

-Rog

Thats right, for an M Z4 or Z4 M Roadster - you'll want to get 19x9.5 ET20 on the rear and Fronts 19x8.5 ET 38. Tire size you'd want to get is a 245/35/19 and a 275/30/19. Give us a call at 714.459.5597, we have lots of different tire options available. Or send myself or anyone else an email, and we'll help you out with any questions.

Certainly do. That was the beginning of my suspension nightmare (stupid TCK coilovers....). But I love the styling of those M6 wheels. The styling makes your rims appear like 19" instead of 18" that they are.

Chad, my vote would be for the silver/gun-metal finish too. Can't wait to see them on your M. You can always pick up those H&R springs from me if you don't like the 4X4 look. Tommy (a friend of Roger's and mine) can help you with the install for about $80~$100; he's installed suspensions on 20~25 bimmers and has worked on my M 3 times (he can install springs on my M in less than 1 hour now). I can vouch for his good skills.

We've done the silver and anthracite on the Z4's. I'll see if I can find the pics on the cars.

By the way, now that people (including many Z4um members) have helped you with your wheel purchase and your "2.5-->Z4M transformation", can you at least promise not to SPAM the Z4um once it comes back alive?

It sucked having to delete 20~30 Britney Spears, Paris Hilton XXX threads EVERYDAY that you posted. It's just wrong when you own a Z4 and you spam a Z4 forum.

I took the plunge.... ordered them today with Goodyear F1 GS-D3s. I have never ran aftermarket wheels/tires on any car I have owned. I never thought stock was a dirty word. Kinda nervous....

Congrats Good choice on going with the Goodyear Eagle F1's. I've had 6~7 sets of them and they're really awesome tires and I keep going back to them every time. I thought about getting the Michelin PS2's this time, but couldn't justify the $300 premium over the Eagle F1's. Besides, the Eagle F1's tread pattern is just sexy. ;P Can't wait to see your rims!

What sizes did you end up getting?
