: Thanks! They're the FM/10's. The sizes were strictly my idea. You may want something closer to the Z3's standard 7.5" front/8.5" rear, both at 41mm offset. The rims are quite exposed to curb damage since the edge of both rims is 5/8th" outward of the standard fitment. The folks at Fikse are very friendly and were willing to exchange them for a different size as long as I hadn't mounted the tires. Let me know if you need help understanding offsets vs. width. Also check out the diagram Fikse posts on their website. I bought them a year ago after I asked a lot of questions on the message board. Mark Sipe and Bruce were especially helpful.

: : Thanks are they ARO's or MACH 5's.It's a little hard to tell by the pic of your car.Also, how did you know which offsets to use?Did Fikse help you?Once again, they look great.

Thanks again. Another great picture of your beautiful car. The rims look fantastic! I think they would look just as good on my cosmos/beige/beige (when it comes in). I really do need help on offsets vs width. Is the 41 mm the std offset? I assume it is. Don't understand what it means to get less or more of an offset. These would be the first aftermarket wheels I've ever purchased. I would want something with the 7.5 front and 8.5 rear. I appreciate any help you can give. Thanks again.
