Hello all,

I am originally from Santa Monica and a few years back, moved to SLC. I had been wanting a 330ci ZHP since 04. Finally this last Tuesday I flew back out to LA and drove back home with my ZHP! Now begins the journey to build my dream ZHP with factory parts. I am happy to be part of this community, with all of you who share the same passion for this car. My first change to it is going to be getting the stock 135 staggered wheels back on it. So if anyone here can help with this I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks everyone.

Thanks everyone! I had always wanted to join the forum, so once I got my car I thought I'd give it shot! And for sure I'll start a pics thread as soon as I can. I will warn you all though, I really don't like the wheels currently on the car. Trying to get the stock ZHP wheels ASAP!!

Welcome! OEM is always good, but there are plenty of high-quality aftermarket parts for you to enjoy. It'd be a shame to rule out extra performance, now, right? :)

Thanks again everyone. To begin I have a list of things that I want to do that are OEM, there are a couple of them that I'm not sure if they were factory options, but very could/should have been. I'll have to see as I go, but I do want to get that list done first haha. I've always been a fan of best of the parts bin from factory.

Welcome!

It's be alright if they weren't black. The lip is nice. I see your "E" there Mr. Spaniard!

Hey hey! Thanks for catching that! I was going to put it down next to where the license plate will be, but thought it might not be seen. And yea they would be much better if they were entirely that polished aluminum. I actually want do the framing around the kidney grilles in stainless, with the slats just black. I'll also sell those wheels as soon as I can get ahold of the style 135 wheels.

There seems to be an infusion of Sparkling Graphite on here lately. That's ok though... I love that color.

Welcome!

I love SGM in the ZHP. It has always been what I wanted.

It's funny that you say that because it's the color I hardly see. I am always happy when I do!

Exactly. We don't see it around here much either but there's been an influx lately.

That's cool though. I always thought there weren't to many made. I didn't think I'd be able to get one in SGM when I finally was able to buy a ZHP!:rockon

Thanks for all the welcomes everyone! I really appreciate it, and already feel like part of the family! A bit off subject, but by the looks of the pictures I took of my car, would anyone be interested in buying those wheels?

Na it's there, I think it's just the way the light is hitting the top. It would be sweet though! Big weight reduction uptop. Not to mention rare.

Another coupe in the Salt Lake area. Welcome!

If you're still in the market for some 135s I may have a solution for you. My sister practically power slid her car into a curb (she doesn't mess around). So now i have a set of damaged wheels. They were refinished in a dark grey, but having the wheels repaired and refinished is kind of a package deal.

I'll keep an eye out for you and your car- there are no zhp coupes around here!

Nice ride, love that color. Good call on getting the 135's back on it though.

Hey hey everyone!! Haven't been on in a couple days. I'm happy to hear that there are a few more of us out here in Salt Lake! I was almost thinking there wasn't out here. So update-wise on the car, I did get my 135's! I'll be posting pics soon!

Welcome Spaniard... your dream car is yours now! We have two and have put rear OEM wheels all the way around and have found more turn in, less pushing and a great improvement... still with the stock look. Kevin

05 ZHP vert, 6 speed, monaco blue, tan, perf intake, perf strut brace
03 ZHP sedan, 6 speed, silver-gray I finally did get the wheels put on the car with Michelin Pilot SS. I took a drive afterwards on a nice canyon road and the difference was night and day. I always say and believe that they put all that money and engineering into the car for a reason.
