Pic request: Z3's on style 32's

[Kyle Anderson]

I picked up a set of style 32's a few weeks ago. Size 18x8 et20 front and 18x9 et22. They're E38 fitment with a big lip. They would be a pretty aggressive fitment, especially on my 1.9. I'm not sure that I want to keep them though, since I have my freshly refinished style 5's. So... I'm looking for pictures of any size style 32's on a Z3 to get a better idea of how they'll look.

I found this picture from Edmunds.

It is a pretty small picture. I think it looks really nice. I would get it if I could get my hands on a set.

Paging Ghery, he had them on his old coupe and they looked pretty sweet.

+1 My thoughts exactly.

The blue coupe, about halfway through the posts.

I think they look great!

Looking good...

I found this E36 touring on the same size 32's that I have:

Here you go. These are 8.5"x17" all around.

I love the Style 32s on ass-lift Zs especially. Montreal blue on beige with style 32s is a nice looking car.

This was an experimental fitment on my roadster three years ago. These are 17s that came from my Coupe. The only pic I have.

This is the only one I can find at the moment. The wheels are 17 x 7.5 in the front and 17 x 8.5 in the rear. (The Mini's are 10 x 6 all around )

The 18" Style 32s are E39-fitment ... much lower offsets ... so the fronts are going to poke a bit more than all of these pics.

Nope, they're E38, as I said in my first post. The center bore is 72.56 and the rears are a different offset than the 32s that came on the E39. I know about the poke; my front E39's have the same width and offset. I hang out with VW guys... I like wheels


Thanks for the pictures; keep them coming.

If you picked them up why not throw them on your car?

I don't think you get montreal blue facelift cars?.. I think they retired the colour before the facelift.. either way it's definitely one of the best blues BMW does..

I love the look of the 32's.. the Z3 definitely suits multi spoke wheels..

Could be a different dark blue. I mean, no colors matter besides steel grey and LSB anyway

It's snowing, so my car sits under a cover outside now.

Bumping this thread. Has anyone tried fitting the e38 style 32 rears on a non-m z3? At 18 x 9 et22, it's gotta be a tight fit.

The reason I ask, is that I found a second option, e60 Style 32s are 18" x 9 et32, with proper z3 hub bore. But the spokes have a contour to them that no other style 32 wheel has.

im running 18x9 +19 now, with 255 35 18 tires and rolled fedners, and i ONLY rub on full compression up driveways. i had 12mm spacers and rubbed, looking to put on 10mm to make it flush with the front 18x8 +19.

i ran e39 style 32s 17x9 +26 with 12mm spacers and they were almost perfect.

[robrez]

^^^ Another option is the e39 18 x 9 et 24 Style 32s. The only drawback being they are big hub bore, so I'd need to run hub-centric rings.

I'm kinda leaning toward the e60 Style 32s even though they are concave instead of dished. But it would be great to here more opinions.
