While checking out the Nurnbergring for the European Meet I ran into this Z4.

I have been struggling deciding on new rims for a while now. Seeing these made me decide (?)

What do you think

Nice wheels. I believe they do them in black too.

These rims have only just be released!

Found this pic on the Breyton website...

I guess these are the 20s. Would you also go for 20s or 19s -- I assume the Z4 is running 19s.

I would only be a little concerned about curbing those rims, they seem to stick out a lot. But maybe you're better at parking than I am

...and the other concern is the use of massive spacers in the front and rear... the rims i saw all had offsets in the 30s - compared to the 12 in the front and 17 in the rear that we are used to from the standard m5/m6 wheels...

Actually, the ones on the Z4 are 20s (rear tires 285/25/20)

The off-set is 35mm front and rear(that's what I found after surfing the net).
Is that going to be a problem????

But the posted pic shows that they should fit the 6er!?
