Ispiri VS Z-Performance Wheels
Does anybody have experience with either? Would either of them be decent quality?
I've no intention of dropping more than a thousand Euro on a set of wheels at the moment to be honest but I'm liking the look of these:

==============================================
Ispiri sounds familiar to me, whereas I know Z-Performance is only a few years old but I think I prefer the Z-Performance for their Concave+Dish look and the design of the spokes.
I would be looking at 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 ET35
Any thoughts?
RE: Ispiri VS Z-Performance Wheels
Don't like any of those tbh (my opinion). They'll cheapen the look (again, imo)
Also, they're alot more than the genuine ACS staggered 19's I linked you to
RE: Ispiri VS Z-Performance Wheels
The Z-Performance are very like the AVA HS-265 rims that Keith in AlloyWheels.ie sells! Was looking at them myself, but have seen many a felt-spec A4 with similar. Which is a shame!
Would you consider Quantum44 S1's?

Dam good looking wheel on more modern BMW's
RE: Ispiri VS Z-Performance Wheels
I like the quantums, but not sure if they suit the SE body. What do you reckon? Open to other suggestions too :)

You're welcome to take one of mine off and try it on yours if it's of any help
RE: Ispiri VS Z-Performance Wheels
Those F14s look pretty nice :cool:
@[fraser5454] I think seeing them in the flesh alone would give a pretty good idea :) we must finally meet up anyway since it's summer and all (if we can call this summer :p) drop me a pm whenever you're free, I'd love to have a closer look at that beautiful e92 of yours :cool:
Re: Ispiri VS Z-Performance Wheels
Wouldn't mind seeing them in the flesh too! Was looking at them or the S2 also. The S2 has more visible dish as well as concave!

The S2s are very nice as well, was looking at them while checking the Quantum range :cool:
M4 wheels look pretty fucking sweet on an e92! I don't know what it is but 5 spoke (or double spoke) wheels always look so good on BMWs!
RE: Ispiri VS Z-Performance Wheels
^^^ ACS wheels are 5 x double spoke
Am I repeating myself?

Haha do you work for ACS :D
I really like them, poor @[Mackers] will tell ya how much I harassed him for his set :P Just want to see what else is out there, I know there are some serious wheel whores on here who can suggest some leftfield ideas :)
RE: Ispiri VS Z-Performance Wheels
I don't think the ACS can be beaten if your not looking to spend mega bucks, they are reasonably priced second hand and they look so good.
Leftfield ideas though? How about some HRE P43SC http://www.m3post.com/forums/attachm...1&d=1363890862
or P44S

You might need to part with some limbs to pay for them but at least your car will look cool :cool:

For sure, I can make this evening (Wednesday) or tomorrow (Thursday) evening around the city/suburbs somewhere?

How about the Esso near the Elysian at 18.15?

Interesting to get a spin in the 335d, never driven one before but you can tell that it's remapped, a lot more "alive" than any diesel I've driven and the response is amazing from very low revs. Overall I'd say very similar performance just a different delivery. Would love the economy but I'd miss the sound. It was the first time I heard my car being driven while I was in another car... it sounded pretty nice if I may say so myself :D
Nice to get a closer look at the wheels too! They suit your car perfectly. I reckon I'll refurb the CSLs and get new tyres and leave it at that.
Would've been nice to get a couple of snaps, maybe next time :cool:

LOL, how could you tell it was remapped if you had never driven one before! :wink:
You are right though, it pulls from anywhere and I definitely prefer all my torque for the unending but very relaxed shove, I have my other BMW toy for high revs (14k!) :-)
Yours does sound mint though and the LSD puts the power down very nicely indeed in the bends, great addition. Definitely keep those wheels, they look great, get the proper tyres you mentioned to stay out of the ditches and if you were to go ahead and lower it I think it would look super smart but really subtle.
Talk soon! :-)
