Cheers. Just dropped them into my garage for now. I have ordered genuine new style BMW centre caps and some Gtechniq C5 to protect the finish. Should look good on the car, hopefully.
The finish is exactly what I was looking for. Light shadow chrome with black barrels. Thoroughly impressed with Paint It UK. They had a massive backlog of wheel and still manage to do these in 4 days.

They're going to look spot on, can't believe it's taken you this long to do them. Perfect colour choice. Still liked the other wheels but these are going to look ace.
Get them fitted!

They look awesome. However disappointed at the lack of Vredestein Ultrac Sessantas on them.

Unfortunately sessanta's in 255/35/18 appear to be non existant nowadays, so had no choice but to go for the Hankooks.
Kenny, won't be fitted until Sunday as I'm on nights and still waiting for a couple of bits in the post. Can't wait to finally have some alloys that don't look rough

Won't be fitted this weekend after all. Royal mail have decided they don't want to deliver my stuff.
Also realised last night that they hadn't balanced the wheels was wondering whether I was going mad, so run them back up today and they apologised. Reason being they usually fit tyres and balance at the same time, but as they had a huge backlog they fitted the tyres first and the guy forgot to balance them luckily I noticed!

Centre caps finally turned up. Genuine stuff this time. Expensive but worth it. They're the new style one piece caps.
Also, a member on the Z4 forum was making some RPI copy air scoops which replaces the standard crap one. Looks exactly the same and is about a third of the price, so well happy with it.
Lastly, bought a Facelift rear bumper and for some reason I received a bloody van bumper bunch of retards. Currently awaiting another delivery and collection of the ''Z4'' bumper that looks suspiciously like a transit rear

Got the wheels on today. Looks so much better than before. Gave the fronts a coat of Gtechniq C5 and the backs 2 coats of Poorboys wheel Sealant, so should be easy to clean.
Car is dirty, so the paintwork looks a bit dull, but I didn't have time to wash it so these will have to do for now.
Just need some decent wheel bolts now as my rusty ones are currently covered up with caps.

Was going to say the same, looks like you've shopped it red in ms paint
The car looks perfect now, looks so much cleaner than before. It does actually suit these more than the temp wheels, fills the arches spot on.

yes it is rather bright. I love it!
I love these alloys as they suit the sharp lines on the Z4's Bodywork. The other ones were nice, but a bit too soft and simple.

Cheers Ian. I'm very happy with it now.
Just need to sort out the rear lights and bumper, then some bodywork and it's done.
I'd like some decent seats but they're a fortune for these cars.

Haven't checked in for a while. Really nice wheels 
Looks great with the red roof too. Finally some decent spring weather to drive round in it!
