Ah very nice, I wish I could do the same as you I love Miami and like Chicago but dred its winters and sometimes cool summers. Miami seems perfect in every aspect weather wise.

Very nice! (I love 20s, LOL). These really seem to "bring out" the contour of the rear fender! Really nice overall.

Lou,
What a beautiful fit. What I like about six speeders is that we can appreciate the lines, shapes and performance of other marks. Class is class and you have one classy ride.

Agreed 100%, thats the meaning of a "auto-enthusiast", as opposed to a "marque-enthusiast".

6speed is a great bunch overall!

Get it done buddy. My friend who owns a BMW dealership tells me the cars are getting hot, he has sold 4 or 5 in the last two months. He keeps buying them at auction and selling them for good money. He is telling me that values are actually slightly higher now than they were 6 months ago.

That looks great!! The Alpina roadster comes from the dealer with 20s anyway. I think 19s would look too small on a car with these proportions. Very good choice on the wheels.

My Z8 is not an Alpina, so it came from the factory with 18's. I do not like the Alpina Z8 becuase it is auto trans. I replacement my stock 18's with 19's initially and I thought they looked great, but, the sidewall on the 19's was too tall for my taste.

Yes, I know its a Z8 6-speed. I was just using the Alpina as an example of "factory-approved" fitment of 20s on a Z8.

Yeah, I figured that out when I reread your post.

Yea, the car is in Miami. I am back in Chicago now, got back yesterday, but am going back to Miami on Thursday night through Monday night.

When I go, I usually stay in Sunny Isles Beach which is obviously right next to Aventura, but this weekend coming up, I am staying in South Beach. Either way, if you are in Aventura, we should meet up.
