From a distance they look great...close up though they look a bit cheap, like they're missing the final finish.

They look ok.. Hard to beat a 5 spoke on the E89.
They remind me of Merc SL wheels...

Think they look plastic in the photos but may look better in the flesh. Like the blue brake calipers though

Not actually bad, but they look like a poor man's version of someone else's wheels.

Hmm its a difficult one. From the angle of uniqueness, not many people will have these on a z4 so thats a positive but yes they do look like cheap copies of something else. However blue callipers look the shnizzle!

Thanks to all of you. I knew I could count on honesty from this bunch. These are made by Verde. Got them from Tire Rack on sale for $130 each. They are low pressure cast with machined inner rim surfaces with polished spoke faces, light weight (24 lbs.), and matte silver with epoxy clear coat. I about went blind looking at wheels and ended up liking the angular surfaces as opposed to curved lines in many of the BMW wheels. The angles contrast nicely with the Z's curves IMO. They won't tolerate kerbing, but I don't see many curbed roads in the mountains where I live and pretty much refuse to parallel park anyhow. In hindsight I do wish I'd got a little more sidewall - once I tear these up at the track, I'll go up a size! Painting the calipers became important when I saw the wheels on the car. I used G-2 epoxy paint and chose blue to compliment the rounded badging. Looks better than I thought it would! I get to see how the rubber performs tomorrow!

They look pretty nice but leaves too much airgap, either needs more rubber profile or lowered, might look awesome in titanium grey of some sort

Hmm . May be not for me but nice n open to help brake cooling when the red mist decends like the painted calipers.
