E46 on 17s look fine , the Zs on OEM factory offsets by comparison look way wrong .

I hate you now Colin!

I'm buying the same car with the same wheels and spent about an hour walking round thinking how good it looked before putting the deposit down..... Now I've seen that spacing I can't unsee it.....

So where did you buy the spacers and how much will my bank manager hate me :rofl:
