As for direct mounting I can order undrilled ones 42mm or 52mm curly from factory and drill the needed holes acoording to the PCD.( CNC ofcourse!)

The ones I'm considering are from MWS and are standard Jaguar fitment with a PCD of 120.6mm and drilled for 1/2" (12.7mm) studs. I'm guessing that standard tolerances mean that they will fit the 120mm PCD and 12mm bolts of the BMW Z3 base car.
I have no concerns over the quality of the MWS offering. What grade steel are the ones you have Jeff?
I have literally just received my first 2 wire wheels by courier. They have 42mm long splines which don't appear to be sharp, a good sign. I was surprised by the diameter of the hub bore- about 70mm.
@Nick- they have some interesting Spanish Bridgestone 195/70x15 Light Truck tyres fitted. Load index 104/102 !!! Not much flex in those sidewalls I bet. They are barely legal so it's all down to those Avon ZV5 or the Maxxis MA AS winter tyres I think. Both V speed rated.
I'll cross post a lot of this info on my build thread once I have everything sorted.
