If you can source the hub adapters you can fit wires to any car.

The hub adapters are the tricky part as don't think they will be off the shelf for a Z4 (or any modern car TBH).
Wires tend to be quite small aswell for various reasons.

Pretty much THE people for wire wheels in the UK, they did do some for the Z but now discontinued.
Worth asking them though.

Just keeping them clean would put me off, I like the look though....
All made in China these days, with their super high quality chroming methods. So keeping them clean is the least of the problems; keeping them from dissolving will be more of an issue for me ( yes I do have new a set of 'wires' sitting in boxes waiting for the day).

I had a 79 Mustang many years ago now, with wires. So although I like them, I,m aware of the issues associated with them. And I should imagine it,s only worse now if as you say they are coming out China...

I like it, same colour as my Z4, Sterling grey and always wondered how it would look. But yes they are a sod to clean properly. :thumbsup:
