Glad you liked the 230s suggestion. I was actually considering them a while back for my E85, but decided to stick with my current wheels until the tyres need replacing (and I had some other things to spend money on...)

I was going to post a thank you to you too for first drawing my attention to this design. Mr Wilks had obviously read your post and had then seen the wheels I’m buying on EBay. He sent me a message and I managed to complete the deal last night. Hopefully the wheels will be with me on Friday but depending on the courier it could be Monday. Will post some pictures when they are on. Thanks again for taking the trouble to offer a suggestion.

No worries
They are a nice design and have the bonus of being easier to clean compared to styles like the CSLs - and not as commonly fitted (even on the E92/E93).
(Disclaimer - I am not criticising the CSL style as I currently have some on my car!)

Don't be so modest Andy there are few legends on the forum and in my eyes your right up there, always willing to give advice to less knowledgeable people and long may it continuemr wilks wrote: ↑Wed Aug 29, 2018 9:40 pm You're welcome Ian , there have been other posts recently & "legend" wasn't the vibe on those
Anyway glad you got where you wanted , i think the 230s will be a real enhancement to your car plus relatively rare wheel too & i'm sure they will look great on see how they sit once fitted , you may feel a 5mm spacer behind the fronts is required but you may not even notice
