Wheel decisions

[SoDelBMW]

Alright guys I just got back from Michelin about my dry rotted tires and they said they are defective and would give me a 25% discount on my next set so I've been having real troubles find a wheel that I love for the next 5 years since that will be the next time I will be getting new tires. It's now or never, I'd love to get some of your guys opinions and preferences on wheels. I'd like to stay 18s and have them staggered.

Thanks, Mason

So....they're giving you 25% off for a defective tire?

As long as we are not just 'rehashing the bashing', this could and should be a useful thread.

Yes because the warranty was up on the front two some they said they would give me 25% overall for my next set.

Stay with 18", get a square set! Turn in is so much better. Square is much better.

As far as style... That's up to you really. What do you prefer?

+1 on the square setup. It will help to dial back understeer too. If I was going to different wheels, I would go square.

Since the ZHP is a low-volume model, with a wheel that's unique to it (at least in the USA - the 135 was used on the Z4 and perhaps others overseas), I would (and do) stick with the stock wheels. As the cars age, the closer to stock you are, the more valuable (and better looking IMHO) your car will be. And it's a great-looking, if heavy, wheel, so why not? Just lose the stock brake pads so that you don't have to deal with the PITA they are to clean, and you're good to go.

Don't even get me started about counterfeits (errrr "reps").

Alright squared it is but I'm really trying to find a wheel that will compliment the chrome grills and window trim and look aggressive. I'm not a huge fan of the blacked out look. For reference I really like the VMR V718s but they are so commonly used on the M3 nowadays so a more unique look would be awesome.

I have style 68s right now. I'm a non ZHPer.

Brett you were right about them being made in 08 and 09 and I just missed the warranty all the tires! Soooo disappointed
