Those wheels look great on the car; what else is done to it?

Also, I never noticed that the Z8 doesn't have slotted or cross-drilled brakes before. Kind of odd considering that it has an M5 V8 in it, and weights almost 2 tons.

it might be played out a bit - but it just looks so right, cant deny that

i think the z8 is a gorgeous car and prob will be a collectors item, interestingly enough this was an SL fighter... didnt put up much of a fight though and no one bought one, a gorgeous car and i would think its faster then a SL55 too, weight is low, power is old M5 power, awesome car, needs nice looking brakes though, BMW still doesnt put nice brakes on any of their cars... when will they learn?

They purposely limited production #'s from the get-go, and sold out every year. Never had a chance to be as mainstream as the SL, and was never intended to be.

Definitely slower than an SL55 in a straight line, but more fun to drive.

Those wheels really set the car off. Never was a huge fan of the OEM 18's.
