New wheels for the Z4?

[torch]

I photoshopped a few examples of the Rotiform Nue wheel on my car, let me know what you think?

Pretty sure I like the wheel but I am on the fence about the color.

Vote number 2 boys those are the ones hands down. Lol

I agree with Jody on the colour. BUT, I had to go look at thread for your car, I remember really liking
your current wheels. I am not sure I would change those. You sure you want to ?

 

[sick04]

Come on we need some more votes

I really like your current wheels.


But within your choices, no.2 is my favorite. Black wheels don't pop out enough.

I'm the only one that voted for Black #3 but I have something for Black wheels on a White Car.

I like the black wheels, go figure eh. Its not that they "pop" but that they go with the rest of the black accents ( the grill, vents and tinted windows)

Interesting response so far. I asked the same question to the BMW crowd and they all prefer the silver. Go figure.

I kinda like your current ones Phil. But if I had to choose between the 3 listed above I would go with the black, looks mean !!!!

I also like my current setup, but have you ever had to clean 16-spoke wheels?????

 

[sick04]

Number 2!!!!!!!!

 

[Ohtobbad]

Yes cleaning the old wheels would be painful.

As for BMW owners preferring silver, that doesn't surprise me.
When you see 90% of BMW's on the road they have silver wheels,
its a classic colour for these cars. The upside is your's will be different.
I guess having is the only way if its good different or bad different LOL.

I would pick #2, but still prefer your original wheels over those in the poll.

 

[sick04]

Ok I'll give a little its black 2nd smoked 1st for sure

And the verdict is ????

Have you made up your mind yet ????

Choosing new wheels is not easy, I know I've been bouncing the idea for the past two years and can't seem to make up my mind on style and or color...

Are you looking at buying local or internet ??

Nope, still haven't made up my mind. I was about to order these and then backed off due to the weight of the wheels (31lbs a piece!)... now coming back around to them. To get a similar looking wheel that is forged/lightweight it's $4k ..

yup sounds about right, check out spun forged, long thread but look at these, 22-24lbs.
bet they make something that would work for you, these are 1650 a set, USD.

Go with the smoked buddy

I've been looking at other OEM wheels for my car this week, BMW Style 37 and BMW Style 69 both caught my eye.

I know someone else did Style 37's a while back but his photos are offline now and I can't find any other examples.

In silver:

In a color-matched powder coat?:

And I haven't found anyone else who's tried this, but I think Style 69's look pretty well matched to the body style. They have shapes similar to the Rotiform Nue's I was previously looking at.

In a color-matched powder coat?:

In a matte black powder coat?:

 

[Ohtobbad]

I still like the originals better, but of this bunch, I prefer Matte black.
It shouldn't be this hard to spend money on a car LOL.
