New Alloys

Post by macca »

Can anybody suggest an alloy wheel / tyre package for a titanium silver Z3 as I an getting "bogged" down with looking at them and now can't see the wood for the tree's as they say.

Depends entirely on what you are looking for...

What size for example - 16, 17, 18, 19?

Any thoughts on style? I knew I wanted 5 spoke alloys which weren't particularly fiddly to clean. Mine take 2-3 mins per wheel to make them shine.

You can't beat the Schnitzer Type 3s or copies in 18s, they look great in titanium and so easy to clean, especially inside of the rims without taking the alloys off :lol:

Personally I would steer clear of 19s as they are starting to look too large on a Zed.

I have an element of 'M-styling' on my car, If that's a good enough reason for the manufacturers to adorn a 320 with the M badge, then its certainly a good enough reason for me..
