Can't say I agree with that, although I might be slightly biased.

Love the colour cerbera, looks very nice.

Wheels look a bit fussy on an E89 imho but hey you like them so that's great, each to their own, would'nt do if we all liked the same thing. :thumbsup:

But 19" look under tyred. Ideally I'd run 245/35R19 front & 275/35R19 rear but they don't really fit in the Z4's arches.

I wasn't clear but "they" was the rear tyres. 245/40R18 just fit in just but there's only 1 or 2mm clearance at full lock so I'll move to 245/35R18 at some point.

Same size as mine :)

Still undecided on alloys , may have to stump up for non Run flat tyres such as MPSS so I'm not restricted on wheel choice

I'll keep the old ones for if and when I ever sell up

When we changed to MPSS we sold the part worn RFTs which covered half the cost of switching to the MPSS.
