Stright swap to any Z3 with OEM hoops. The Schnitzer can be a tight fit and you have to manually get them to the right height and fix in place.

18s look best, 19s are too big, but expect a reduction in ride and handling quality. Those wheels would not be my choice for a Z3 - they would look good on a Z4 though. You can get staggered aftermarket alloys which is what the widebody Z3 looks best with. These are very nice IMO (all silver ones);...
