Z4M Wheel Decision Help!
Guys
I have used up a set of worry beads trying to find just the right wheel and came down to ZCP look alike's. I have pretty much made up my mind to get either the M359 or M310 From Avante Garde in 18 inch wheel size to remain close to stock. But I found a set of used ZCP's 19 inch at a good price. Would you go with the BMW wheels over aftermarket? Give me a push one way or the other. Thanks

What about the Apex EC-7?

I reckon 18's are the way to go. In my humble track/performance-centric opinion you should get something strong, light, able to take a BBK, and looks good. Pretty much in that order although the potential to fit a BBK could be higher depending on the likely-hood of you ever upgrading. Brand seems to me to be largely irrelevant.
But if you just want black wheels and don't plan to get a BBK, maybe you should just get your stock wheels painted...? I reckon your car would look badass with stock black-gloss wheels.

Thanks for the input, Black wheels won't do for the look I want. I don't want total black out, silver wheels make a black car pop out if done right. I have CF Roundel's coming for just a touch of CF on the outside and with silver wheels or polished as I had hoped for (Just out of the budget) would make the car look great.
I looked at the Apex wheels a while back and I don't remember for sure but I thought they did not fit for some reason, or it may have just been the web site the was selling them that did not show the fitment correctly. ![]() Afterthought: I found their web site and they only showed the Arc 8 wheel, not the EC-7 series so I never got to see those. Arc 8 just look way to flat and I was looking more concave look. regards

We actually just recently sent a set out of 18" M359's to a Z4M customer who should hopefully be receiving it soon so that you can take a look at a few pictures, but I would easily say that M359's would be your best choice, it's an excellent looking wheel... As Avant Garde's Master Distributor, we take pride in showing these babies off, they're just so good to look at:
