Not many like my Z1 wheels on this site :( but I get nothing but compliments from folks around these parts. Maybe it is my photography
A nice change from the usual Alpina / Hartge / BBS set up IMO.
Can post some pics if your interested.

This was my original plan for the Z1 alloys - could never find a suitable cab here - went with an '02 instead and the Z1s have stayed on the chromie
