New wheels

[Alan W]

Been looking for some 17" wheels for a while and just managed to pick up these newly refurbished style 44 17"x8" ET46 rims this morning which have never even had tyres on. Managed to get them for an unbelievably good price so l am really pleased.

Unfortunately they never came with centre caps so will get some from bmw unless someone here has a good set they are selling?

Also l will need to get tyres so I'm hoping that someone here will be able to let me know what size l need to get and l would appreciate any recommendations

Cheers Alan

Those look really nice. As for the centre caps I purchased mine from eBay.

No longer available from this seller.

The seller quotes these as fitting a Z3 and Z4

Ahh thanks mr low rider.. funnily enough l was just looking there.. oem ones about £29 and aftermarket copies are around £7 to £10.. tempted to get black and chrome ones then change to car badges to match...

They are very nice looking rims and should look super on the Zed!

The guy l bought them from took them off his 3 series and replaced them with 18" mv's then decided he would get them refurbed to keep as a spare set.. but then a year later he needs the space in his garage. Refurb cost him £240 and he just wanted to recoup that as the wheels didnt cost him anything to start with.. and we shook hands on £220.. happy days

Anyone got any suggestions for tyre sizes?

 

[Antm72]

What size are the rims width wise this will determine the tyre size

 

[Alan W]

8 inches

225/45 would suit

My friend has a set of these on his E36. Look so nice with low profile tyres
