Look at these pics, the GTR's slotted rotors are in one direction while the Z4's rotors is the opposite.. Either way will work fine.

Nice, I use to sell a good amount of these for BMWs.

If anything this design is like every other 'new' wheel that comes out for BMWs, modeled after the CSL wheels.

They look awesome ICE, can't wait for my new ones to arrive! I should have that replacement center cap and the spare to you in a few weeks, they just need prep and paint.

I think the fit came out perfect.

I'd go with 305/30/19 tires before I went with a spacer...thats a sweet hook up on the center caps. I can still make the caps for you if you ever want to change it up...I got all the materials made up, I wont be using the same design on my car anymore, I'll make my news with more of a script style.

Great looking car mate

I am just about to place an order for the F14's.
Was thinking of 19 x10 front et 20 and 19 x11 rear et 23 or 28.
Tires will be 255/35 front and 285/35 rear. lowered on coilovers all round.
Do you think i could just roll the fenders or will more arch work be required?
