i bought it at the same price too.

Cheers!

Cool. I didn't know there was another Z4 on the road with the Gurt front lip spoiler.

Sadly, I hit my on a hump (at the bottom of a slope) recently and cracked mine. You facing any clearance problems with yours?

My spoiler arriving tml. Clearance shouldnt be a problem. Z4 is not as low as all my previous car.

I currently on stock suspension and 18" 225/40/18 all rounded. How about u ?

Congrats! Japan EMS shipping is damn fast. Mine came in like 3-4 days or something!

I'm on stock sports suspension, which is a bit lowered, and 19" rims. Clearance without the spoiler is no problem, but the spoiler reaches down maybe 2cm more.

I went over the same spot again today (it's my office carpark, damn sian), and even at very, very snail-pace speed, my spoiler still comes into contact with the ground. I may have to remove the spoiler until I change office to prevent more damage. LOL.

Hey guys

If I drop to 18" tyres (for the yadda yadda reasons mentioned earlier), that brings OZ into contention too...

Which one more swee:

Basically, 12-spoke vs 14-spoke. Ultraleggera is cast but is magically about the same weight as the forged GC-014i.

Am still checking pricing...

Bro, can PM me the Rays rim you looking at? Upsizing to 19" or sticking with 18"? Wondering if I'll regret changing mine from 19" to 18"... heh...

OZ Ultraleggera only come in 18" max, hence previously wasn't considered.

Re: All about Z4 (E89/ E86/ E85) thread

Haha, yeah... very tempting except for price...

What do you all think of downsizing to 18":
- Better performance (lower unsprung wt)
- Cheaper rims and tyres
- Better ride comfort (with higher profile tyres)
- But looks less aggressive

Yay or nay? 19" (and above!) seem extremely popular on this forum!

If you are into the looks - definitely 19".

Turns out 18" Prodrives are only slightly cheaper than 19" ($100 per wheel), and likewise for tyres. Meh.

Looks like it's back to this option - cheap and look good (ac323 knows me well, haha):

breyton (made in china) pricing is indeed appealing
