haha!, Thanks Ray ...wire wheels on a Z3 always brings out the lovers & the haters... not many middle grounders... I purchased my Z3 3 years ago & have spent that time completely rebuilding it inside and out... I went for the 'Classic 50's/60's Roadster' theme... while it may not be a real classic (yet, coz not old enough), there is no doubt that the Z3 was retro styled by design, so this classic style works well in my opinion... & unlike a 'real old' classic, you can power slide this around corners, no problem coz there is an extensively modified engine & drive train within ... the latest issue of great debate is ride height... so many people feel strongly that I should lower it, but I will not, coz the Classic style does not work well with lowered cars (speeds bumps don't either!)... just fitted new OEM sports springs all round and fitted Bilstein B4's a couple of years ago... so the ride height is stock & I prefer it that way! .... the wire wheels are from Dayton (USA) and they did a fantastic job & custom designed them to my specification in terms of backspace etc... they are direct bolt on wheels & the two eared chrome spinners are just for show ... (as is most of the body work on cars!)...
Wow
Peter I do like your wheels
Wire wheels have been mentioned here before
But haven't seen one, it got mixed reviews/comments not for the Z ?
How Wrong could you be
Looks even more like a Classic sports car should look
Hi Boysie,Welcome Rory
Lovely car you have there, so young but know's a good car
I am glad you removed the badge
Everybody on here would have scream at you 'REMOVE IT' lol
Its looks different at the front I cant put my finger on it
Lowered ? spoiler ?, I see it doesn't have plate but there is something different

I don't think wire wheels will work on every Z3. Only if they are one of certain colours, eg, dark reds/dark greens etc, Black or perhaps white. Also in my opinion it is important to style the whole car retro... for example, a set of wire wheels on a low hung aggressive stance street racer style Z3 would not work at all...Welcome from me too. I am normally a hater but for some reason, on your car, it works...scratches head...!
