Kind of sexy no?

Do you guys happen to know the dimensions and if they're staggered or not?

Agreed. Pretty good looking. The 5-spokes look so good on any BMW. However I have yet to find wheels that look better than our styles M135's (just IMO) and am really surprised by that. I usually get envious over aftermarket wheels.

Agreed. It would take a LOT for me to consider something over the ZHP wheels. The wheels are a big part of the reason I fell in love with mine; even if they're a pain in the ass to clean or that we can't rotate them. It's all worth it :)

Plus their weight! Haha, I guess one can't have everything. Usually the first comments I have about the car are about how great the wheels look. BMW really did the ZHP justice in the aesthetics department.

What do they weigh? I bet rears are heavier too.

I am getting mine installed in a few weeks; here's the collection of E46/ZHP pics with style 264s I have collected :

These look so much better on coupes than sedans...

Are they also staggered or square, on 135i's that is.

Must say, these rims are growing on me. I like how they expose the brake disks so much more :)

+1. Drilled and slotted rotors would look awesome with these wheels.

I got a set of BMW Performance rotors waiting to be put on. All 4 of them ;)

So if women have many shoes to wear to different occasions, can my ZHP have at least a few sets of wheels... you know... for different occasions? :)

Imagine a big brake kit under these things? :drool

You do realize that the BMW Performance BBK that ECS sells is really just the 135i brakes that go with those wheels, so yes that would work perfect.

As for the Performance rotors with those wheels:

Good point! What are their exact dimensions?

Ask Chad, he probably has all that info. The Style 135's don't clear without spacers from what I understand per talking to Charlie. I have stock calipers with the Performance rotors and Hawk HPS'


Edit: and with regards to you comments about having multiple wheels, I still need to buy tires so I can mount up the Style 23's I have in storage

I have PM'd several ZHP and non-ZHP E46 330 owners (especially the owner of the black ZHP vert, pic of which I posted; and he's a member here), and all have confirmed that Style 264 (which comes on 135i cars), fit and clear without any spacers on E46 330 zhp and non-zhp; they will be fine on existing OEM zhp-size tires also. (and stock suspension/brakes, etc)

I have no info about their fitment on 330 / ZHPs with modified suspension/brakes etc.
But I am pretty sure the Imola ZHP pictured in my post, IS obviously lowered, and even that car did not (to my best knowledge/memory) need any spacers with the 264s.

However, as they're a bit 'skinnier' than our style 135 ZHP front wheels, for looks, some might PREFER spacers for the flush look.

These are style 264 specs:
OEM BMW Style 264 Wheels:
Front 18x7.5 ET 49
Rear 18x8.5 ET 52

for comparison, ZHP (style 135) specs:
Front 18x8" ET47
Rear 18x8.5" ET50

(ZHP wheel style number is 135 and style 264 wheels come on 135i cars :( easy to get those numbers confused...one is a car model, and the other is a wheel style)
