hi all
Anyone fitted these on their zed

Currently running the 17" type ones ...but might have the type vi 18" going spare ....just wonder if they are a bit to modern for the zed

I like the AC Schnitzer Type 2, but then I'm biased as I have them on mine lol (18")

I take they are replica wheels and not genuine bmw ?.
18 will fit no problem with either 225/40/18 all round or if staggered wheels 225/40/18 front and 255/35/18 rear .
Whether they fit correctly is down to the offset on the rims .
As for style thats a personal choice one person's idea of a nice set of wheels is not necessarily somebody else's.
So at the end of the day if you like them the only question to be asking is whether they are right offset or might need spacers.

Don't get me wrong I love the 17" type1 acs on my zed .....I've tried 18" before on it and found the ride and handling not as good in my opinion

I just have the 18" possibly spare now as I have picked these up today for the e91

Give the Type VI a go on the Z3, see how it handles. Not that much time to change the wheels over if they don't work for you.

I think they would look nice on an E85 Z4, the angular shapes in the wheel would look better on a Z4 than on a Z3.
