Premium 19" Wheels on H&R sport springs versus ZCP wheels painted Porsche silver on stock suspension
I'm not a wheel guy. Or at least I wasn't before and I never understood the enthusiasm for ZCP wheels until I owned a set. Now, the premium 19" wheels that came with the e93 - well I can barely look at them. I imagine these were fine 10-15 years ago but they've not aged well, and to me the ZCPs on my e90 in the OP picture are timeless and beautiful.
ZCP wheels for the win.
Stock suspension versus H&R sport springs.
I noticed an improvement in ride quality and handling when I traded out stock springs for the H&R sport lowering springs but hard to say whether that persists. I think initially they gave the e93 an elegant stance (as in this photo). My only gripe is that the H&Rs seem to have settled in more than advertised and look a little 'saggy' almost 2 years later - so much that I've wondered if I received the coupe or sedan springs in error. While I think the e92/e93 look better dropped 1 - 1.5", I like the look of the sedan with its stock stance.
