Sorry Patty. I think you are the only one who likes the new wheels. I don't hate them or anything, just like the 04/05 wheels better. Hell, I like the 04/05's well enough that even though there are some after market wheels I like better, the OEMs suit me just fine.

 

Patrick likes them too.

 

Hi Patty, Hi Andy, Hi Patrick, Hi karen

 

Hi Mike

And what do you think of the new wheels?

 

I need to see them in person, but I right now I still like ours!!

 

I like the new 06 wheels also kinda like luxury feel to it like the Z4 wheels.

 

It took me til now, having seen the 06 rims, to appreciate the 04-05s. How hard is it to design sporty-looking wheels? A 4th grader could do it...

 

I drove a z4 today with DBW... I didn't know it was DBW until I just looked it up. I even thought about it when I was driving trying to see if there was any funny feeling to it. Naturally when you first drive a car for the first time it feels weird but I didn't recognize any weird throttle response to make me hate DBW... at least yet..

 

I can not believe you said that . A guy here at work has a Z4 and every time I walk by his car I just think to myself, "Self, are those not some of the most hideous looking wheels ever to be put on a car?" (self nods head in agreement and then shakes it back and forth in utter disbelief) But hey, I'm glad you like them . I do agree with you though, the new '06 wheels do have a somewhat similar design although not nearly as exceptionally bad as the Z4's are....

As for the changes to the '06 S go, the only thing that would really appeal to me is the VSA since the S is my daily driver and I live in PDX where it rains a lot. You never know when some mofo is going to cut right out in front of you on the freeway or when you're going to hit a patch of standing water etc. I would probably leave it on during the rainy season and just flip it off when the pavement was dry (or when it was wet and I just wanted to have a little fun ).

Which Z4 rim set do they look like? I know they offered about 20 (exaggerating) options for rims on the Z4, my Dad's car looks good but I've seen some that are total hideous.
