lower it about an inch... def needs to loose a little wheel gap. would an inch give you any camber wear?

my MR2 is sold... tthe guy was gonna drive from louisiana this weekend to get it but the hurricane has him on call at work so he wont be getting it till next weekend. with that money im getting KW Varient 2 coilovers and will drop it down so the tire is just in the wheel well. prob gonna drop 1 1/2"

I'd get springs/coilovers for handling but it doesn't NEED to be lowered. A little gap is good IMO.

IMO, the oem sport springs do well enough on their own.
I'm not really keen on the wheels but it looks good.

As soon as I heard new wheels on your black car, I KNEW it would be fairly ugly black wheels with a polished lip. Sorry but :sicks:

Dude...come on. You have a freaking BMW. How dare you do that to your BMW. You're either suppposed get freaking BBS, BMW Factory/Aftermarket rims, or at least some Work or Volk Racings, but that crap? I thought my Rota's werent that great but I hate them with all my heart. At least my next car I know what to get.

Cheap wheels and a bmw don't go together... Evident by your pics.

im not feelin them at all. the oem wheels were way nicer than that. they really fit that car and the lines of the "flame surface" design that the z4 has. ive seen m6 wheels on a z4 before those look mmmazing especially wit bmw centercaps. z4 in my opinion are one of the best looking cars and it takes a special wheel to set it off.

Yeah Cris, the wheels scream "cheap"... like many of the bad design wheels out there. There are TONS of OE wheels that you probably could have picked up cheaper... like the M-parallel that come on the older 5-series (7 series?).

I like those. I think those rims with a solid stance would look real clean. I really do not like the stance that the oem suspension gives the car. IMO it leans too much in the turns.

OMG Its Platz

way nicer rims!

Sorry to tell you but that looks horrible and very cheap. Black wheels with a chrome lip already look hideous and cheap one's with no lip just look horrid
