Style I like, brand I like but the size is a mistake imo :cry: the 19s you had looked far better & if your preference was to get back on 18s then the 107s with spacers would have been my choice of your 4 options :(

I get what your saying, but the car has been poly-bushed (Possibly powerflex bushes can’t remember which) by the previous owner.

This does impact ride quality and 19’s feel a bit too much TBH, to the extent that I wasn’t convinced that shelling out for 35 profile rears on 19’s would have made enough of a difference. :cry:

Ride quality wise, this is a great compromise and, weirdly, it looks better in reality than I can reflect in the photo’s :thumbsup:

Thanks! The car has some cosmetic things as every old car. But overall I think it is i pretty good shape consider the age and milage.

Ballsy choice and it works!

Cheers

Leave as is, they look good.

Black wheels look awful imho. They lose all detail and they make the tyres look a dirty dark brown too.

I love the grey wheels, black I have yet to see on a single car where it wouldn't look better in grey, or look good at all.


I ran grey wheels on my E46 M3 17 years ago, so not a stickler for sticking with silver, but black?? Nah.

New wheels! Instead og the Alpina's I have bought a second hand set of original BBS CH-R Satin Titanium 8,5/9,5x19", ET32/35. The tyres will be Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5/2, 225/35 and 265/30.

Really nice. Works well with Montego blue and the grey grilles. :thumbsup:
