Why do you recommend against 18's? Fred W wrote: Quote: Data Processing Careers, Inc. wrote: Quote: Has anyone any experience with putting 18 inch wheels on a Z3? Is it doable? Sure. I wouldn't.

On my '97 Z3 I had the stock 16" wheels, and in my opinion they were plenty sporty. Remember, it's not (all) about the looks. It's (more) about how the car performs. It will perform better in real world street applications with 16" wheels with good tires than with 18's. -- -Fred W Fred W View Public Profile Find all posts by Fred W Add Fred W to Your Buddy List « Previous Thread | Next Thread » Thread Tools Search this Thread Show Printable Version Email this Page Search this Thread: Advanced Search Display Modes Linear Mode Switch to Hybrid Mode Switch to Threaded Mode Posting Rules You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts vB code is On Smilies are On [IMG] code is On HTML code is Off Forum Jump Please select one User Control Panel Private Messages Subscriptions Who's Online Search Forums Forums Home -------------------- Cars Lounge     General     Acura     Alfa Romeo     Audi     BMW     Dodge     Ferrari     Fiat     Ford         Ford Explorer         Ford Falcon         Ford Festiva         Ford Flathead         Ford Focus         Ford Mustang     GM         GM Cadillac         GM Cadillac Deville         GM Camaro         GM Camaro Firebird         GM Chevy Malibu         GM Corvette         GM Fiero         GM Oldsmobile         GM Pontiac     Honda     Hyundai     Infiniti     Isuzu     Jaguar     Kia     Lexus     Mercedes Benz     Mini     Mitsubishi     Nissan     Peugeot     Porsche         Porsche 911         Porsche 928         Porsche 944     Rolls Royce     Saab     Subaru     Toyota         Toyota Camry         Toyota MR2         Toyota Prius     Volkswagen         Volkswagen Beetle     Volvo All times are GMT -8.
