POLL 19" Should i get them

[billz]

Looks like i can only get these as a staggered set up in 19". So would like peoples opinion of if they think i should go with 19" or go back to the drawing board and start searching all over again.
I quite like the fact that these are a stainless dish as even though i really protect the wheels i buy the polished ones always seem to start to pit.

Be interesting to see if one of the tech wizards could put them on your car in a pic mate. The 4 is bigger than the 3 so you may get away with it.

I say go 19 a z4 can pull it off only concideration is ride comfort but i like the idea

One of the good things is that it is not lowered anymore than standard sport, so in a way would not be a case of all wheel (which is my worry) as i still have the gap between wheel and arch

No, not for me. Bigger than 18" they start to look like pram wheels.

If they were dark centres than maybe but if all bright silver could look massive.

I always thought that when bright silver these 18’s looked a bit oversized but a slightly darker centres and they looked right to my eye:

Are they 8J and 8.5J?
I guess you would be on 30% and 35% profiles then (same as the E89).
On non-RFT I'd be worried that a pothole would easily ding the rim. With RFTs I expect the tyre wall strength would help protect the rim a little but it's a little like riding on solid wheels. Ride will be much harsher.

How would they look?
Even on a Z4 with deeper wings, I think they'd look big tbh.
Too big? Not sure about that...

Fronts will be 8" et 35 rears 9.5" et45

Z4 does 19s easily.
