Original BMW Z1 Alloy wheels
Original BMW Z1 Alloy wheels
I recently had my original Z1 alloy wheels re sprayed in extra coarse aluminium like Holland Harry had done in the past with stunning results.

After attending a German sports car breakfast club at Goodwood circuit
I was offered the opportunity to come back and drive my car on the track at Goodwood a few days later! I swapped from my 18inch alloys to my newly painted original 16inch alloys and I was simply amazed how well my car handled, incredible really! I have fallen in love with my car all over again as it's so much fun to drive. I will use my original wheels over the winter and switch to my bigger alloys for the Summer as I now also have a set of 17inch AC Schnitzer alloys as well as my 18 inch Project Khan's...
If only we could have the original alloys in 17inch! So I started speaking with a company in the United States that say they can make a one off set of original design Z1 wheels for me in 17 or 18 inch. If I have the balls to spend the money watch this space!!!!

That's funny, I only saw a green Z1 there which I was driving with!dreamchaser wrote:You must have more clout with Goodwood, I went there last Sunday as well and they put me at the end of the line right round the track even though I had registered well in advance. I did not see yours there though, where were you?
The number plate is (BMW 34) very cool indeed. I was there centre stage next to the Z8 and BMW Bat car! I also went back a few days later to test my original style alloy wheels.
