I would have thought you'd have wanted wider rears on a 3.0. Shame the ///M rears won't fit, as I still think they are about the best looking wheels for a zed. Unless you want to change the rear axle... :twisted:

Cheers R.

:D They would pat me on the back and say well done that man :lol:

I could buy an M tomorrow but it would be a winter car so no point really, besides I have a great little Zed already :lol:

We all have our reasons; you could say I've immitated an M car by fitting Z3M mirrors, wheels and gills (albeit I smoothed out the 'M' badge), but the plain and simple truth is that the mirrors and gills look better than those fitted to a regular Z3 and the wheels really suit the lines of the Z3.

I personally love to see people swap and change parts with other varients or models, even brands - i.e. Corvette wheels on a Z3.

Each to their own I guess...

There's a set of Z3M wheels on eBay at the moment. Search item no. 111124392873. Located in Hornchurch but may package them up if you're willing to set up a courier!

They look like 4 x fronts, ideal for a non ///M

mmmm 4 different tyre brands on one set :shock:

I would cost these based on needing new rubber ;-)

For info the OP set may be the aftermarket 18 inch wheels that where available a few years ago (source unknown). The above eBay wheels appear to be 17 inch OEM ///M front wheels x4.

Having seen the "Fake Britain" report/video testing on unbranded fake wheels performance on big impacts :shock: I would stick with OEM / branded wheels 100% of the time :rtm:
