18" Wheels

[ashukri]

Good day to all.Thinking of changing my 17" wheels to 18" with normal tires i.e non RF 225/40 in front and 255/35 in the rear. Anyone here got these on their Z? Appreciate any feedback/comment on the ride/handling. Thank you

Big Brakes

I finally found the rims that I like. What a difference it make to the look and handling. BUT now the stock brakes looks so cacat. Any suggestion on affordable big brakes available locally? Brembo seems to be a bit of an overkill given the price and my kind of driving....

Bro, mind selling your original Z4 3.0 brake kit (caliper, rail, rotor n pads) to me once you have upgraded your brake?

If I have the money I will definitely go for stoptech http://www.stoptech.com/products/big-brake-kits
which cost around 8-9K per set and it is cheaper vs BREMBO GT or AP Racing or other famous brand.

I traded in the old 17" rims for the 18"s but here's the pic

I thought you already had a nice set of 18"s. Grown tired of it or potholes mishap?
