If you cannot see that wheel gap difference, time to get your eyes checked. I think your car looks great, so I'm not hatin'. Just saying that, to a trained eye (probably not an untrained one), the difference is glaringly obvious.
Bone stock 2011 ZCP.

I agree about the dust too. When they're clean though they're blindingly gray! They don't look nearly as bad dirty as some other wheels.

I appreciate you taking the time to post up some more pictures for me. Thanks.

np re: posting the pics. i'm not a spacers guy, but if i were you, i'd keep the spacers until you have your stock springs on and then see if you're happy. i like the way the car looks with the ZCP wheels and stock height, but it's just an opinion of one. IMO, absolutely no 4wd thing going. that said, the ZCP wheels look more flush than do the 220ms.

i didn't measure, but i believe the lip of the 359 wheels is a little farther out than is the lip of the 220m wheels and the tires have a very minor 'stretch' due to the wider barrels. so the look is more flush than with the 220m wheels, even without spacers. assuming i'm correct about the lip being a little farther out.

I think I'm Just gonna go back to fully stock and axe the spacers too. I think your car looks very nice. To my eye you can definitely tell the zcp is lower but to 99.5% of the population it will be undiscernible. For my taste I will be just fine with stock height zcp look.

Good choice. Just make sure you don't under inflate your rear tires, less you want to make a fool of yourself at Cars and Coffee

I thought I would let everyone know what I ended up doing and post pics. So I put the stock springs back in but left the spacers. Here's a few pics.

I dunno....I have a E90 in white as well and with stock EDC suspension...and have been thinking of doing the ZCP.

However, everytime I see these pics of ZCP w/ stock suspension....I start to channel Acura TSX......so something is just off still with either the rake of the car or visual tire gap.

This thread is as bad as that fake M badge one...all you non ZCP posers...

All kidding aside, if you parked a pre-LCI in front of me (I have a zcp) and told me it was post LCI, from the outside, I couldn't tell, aside from the rear lights.

ZCP is up there with the carbon fiber roof, which I do not have. It's cool if you do, but you can't notice any performance benefit from it what so ever.

Lol! Get some coil overs and drop it 10mm then! Lol! I personally have no issue with and like the way it looks especially with the spacers. To each their own!

I don't want to hijack this thread but as you have inserted a political opinion, a counter point seems necessary.

No one is denying that climate changes, it's always changed and it is called "weather." Liberals have changed the name from "global warming" to "climate change" as the evidence has failed to support their claims. There is absolutely no evidence that weather is more volatile and there is no proof that man is affecting the weather. The "97% consensus" published by Zimmerman/Doran survey has been widely debunked as a flawed, cherry-picked bogus study. True science is NEVER settled, it is always open for investigation.


This is not the forum for our political opinions and to spare our fellow posters, we shoud drop this matter on this thread. If you wish to debate on a different thread or privately, consider yourself invited.
