Alpine White BMW Z4M on Black HRE C20s

As much as I loved how the Competition wheels looked on my car, I've always had real aggressive looks on my cars and wanted to continue that trend with the Z4M. I've fell in love with the build quality and fitment of HRE's over the last few years so it was an easy choice to use their wheels on this vehicle. I went with the C20 series for their lightweight design and stepped lips, which I think help accentuate the wide rear of the Z4M. The fronts are 19x8.5 while the rears are a 19x10.5 size, which fills out the fenders perfectly. To keep some contrast I had the centers matte coated, and both the inner barrels and outer barrels in gloss black to making cleaning them a bit easier. I know some will feel black wheels are getting on the played out side and I agree to some extent, however it's a look I've done for over 12 years now on my cars with various plays on accent colors.

For tire I wrapped them in Nitto NT05 245/35/19 front and 275/30/19 rear, I'm anxious to put a bit more miles on these as they have gotten rave reviews for being a great intermediate tire that works well on the track and can still be driven on the street. I'm very pleased with the overall stance of the car now and looking forward to getting it back out on the track.

If anyone is interested in a similar set for their BMW or other vehicle please PM or email me and I will get you a quote right away.

Very nice! I wish they were brushed/clear with chrome lip though.

Nice, I think it's a great fit for the Z4M

I agree black rims are played out but yours are on the tasteful side imo...wouldn't seeing them refinished in a shade of gold or bronze...pshop anyone? Really need a bbk behind those rims though hopefully they are on the way lol

I mocked up a few gold setups, just wasn't my style. I'm sure there are a set of stoptechs in my future, however right now the ZHP brakes BMW put on the car are working just fine with a pad upgrade.
