Managed to get my tyres on the weekend and fitted my new wheels, still need the rear spacers swapping from 5mm to 15mm and that should be it then. Pics are quickly taken on my iphone, need a decent camera.

Not a fan to be honest. They'd suit something japanese, but they dont look right on an S3

Agree with this, I know it's common but TT's and BBS ch look perfect on an S3, or MTM/Sportec mono if you have deep pockets.

As long as you like them though it matters not what I think

Looks great, suits the shape perfectly. I'd love a set but don't think they would suit a z4

Love these wheels, shame they're the only aftermarket wheel that seems to go on Scoobies nowadays so it's a bit of a predictable choice

Rarely see them on Audi's though, I think they look alright

Love these wheels on anything jap and I think they work on that too, it's good to be different.

I'd certainly be careful, speaking from painful experience the sump hangs down like a cows udders.

Love the car, not sure on the finish of the wheels. Looks different though which is a good thing.
