Thanks a lot, The drop is very mild, just half an inch i believe. The ride quality feels the same as stock to me. The finish is called satin silver.

looks like he took off the old ones, then bolted the new wheels on and used a spacer. what's so hard to understand about that?

BMW has a 5 X 120 bolt pattern. Hence the reason for the question.

You know I have been thinking of painting them white or maybe gold. I used to have a 2nd gen eclipse that was black with white wheels, it looked really nice. that z looks really nice,I'm glad to see that white wheels are having a come back.

Yes, z04 is correct, The spacers allowed me to Put these wheels on my z. Guys in the euro scene have been doing this for years.

VMR do not make 5 x 114.3 bolt patterns, hence the question.
I did not know he used the spacers to change the bolt pattern as there are other options as well.
God there are some retards on this forum.

Yeah, I'm glad he asked cause I didn't know that either. And considering I'm 7'5" and 450lbs of pure lean muscle I would have hurt anyone that made fun of me for asking!
