    those ones you linked offered from pelican don't look like they come in the correct sizes, and are heavier. I'm not one to suggest that Apex wheels are some sort of magic, but they do come in very platform specific sizes that don't need spacers, which is something I find value in.
    Noooooo, my bad. I was talking about two different options. I can direct you to the company that makes the ML10s if you shoot me a PM. They can basically make it in any size, color, or design that you want. Single piece forged wheels were around $2k DDP (meaning shipping and duty fees included), and two piece started at $3k. Production time was 60-90 days earlier this year.

    Edit: Those Titan wheels at $2,325 shipped are a good option too.

      Finally got around to picking up a Z4 M Roadster. 1 of 100 in Sepang Bronze Metallic. Absolutely loving it, but this sadly means my e36 M3 has to go..

      I'm amazed at how good the ride is. I read all the reviews of it being bone jarring, uncomfortable...it's more supple than my E46 (perhaps due to worn components), but nothing like the beast it's made out to be anyhow. Perfectly happy to cruise along in it.

        Great buy and an excellent color. Congrats. Post some pics after the next detail. Think I’ve only seen Sepang on the M5.

              Now we're talking.

              I want to see pics of the trucks, camper & XL600.

              I'm not a water guy but I love those older ski boats.

                Thought I posted one...not a great pic, but I'm away.

                Rear bumper needs a respray from baking in the sun, then a good paint correction, but for the purchase price that's no matter at all. At 60k miles, the valve adjustment was never done-14 of 24 (slightly) out of spec. Spark plugs were never changed considering how stuck in there they were. Looks great under the valve cover though, no sludge, and the VANOS is perfectly intact.

                I just cannot believe what a steal these are-totally slept on and cheap as chips. There's nothing quite like it as it fills the gap between the Miata and the v12 Ferrari roadsters. It's the only middleweight classic style roadster around, and a far more compelling car to me than a Boxster/Cayman/s2k etc. Like the v8 Vantage, one of the most underappreciated cars out there. Rarity, unique looks, killer engine, easy to maintain (the engine room is insane-cylinder six isn't buried under the firewall like on the m3)...

                The only drawbacks are the aftermarket, but no aftermarket will get a M3 to have this sort of chassis rigidity or a cab to drop 600 pounds. Or the seating position.

                I'm smitten. The sound with the top down while being lighter and stiffer than the m3 coupe...it feels a hell of a lot faster. They get a bad rap, but I think that's down to people not spending enough time with them and the rarity. All the actual owners seem to place them above just about anything remotely comparable for smiles per mile.

                It would probably beat the CSL around the Ring if they didn't gimp it with Continental tires too. Seems they didn't advertise or market it at all really, to keep from siphoning sales from the more expensive M3, likely.
