Thank you to Mr Wilks and all who helped me to find some new shoes for the 3.5is

Asked a question about whether to keep my 295s or change for bigger wheels. Thanks to everyone who made suggestions. One of the suggestion was 230s by ‘Heavymetalthunder’ ‘Mr Wilks’,as usual, was a mine of information and pointed me in the direction of some excellent wheels which I have now bought. They arrived this morning and are now on the car.
I am really pleased with them.
So thanks again to the Forum and it’s very knowledgeable members.

Not blowing smoke over them

they do look so right on the car Ian , kept the Oe stock appearance yet subtly upgraded to enhance the looks

additionally the increase in tyre profiles has also done you no harm whatsoever , dare i say you may not be the last to go for the 230s on E89

( worth checking your cars speedo against a TomTom or similar to gauge where its at , most likely more accurate now as opposed to overreading

)

Thanks Andy. I ‘m really pleased with them. They arrived very quickly too. I have a TomTom so will check the speedo as you suggest.
Cheers and thanks for all your help.

Very tasty looking E89

Very nice

I’ll have to agree mr wilks has a very keen eye when it comes to wheels and tyres and know of only one faux par in his long and varied selection

Faux pas

those grey Quantums on E89

there have been a few others that barely made it off the drive before they were up for sale

Looking good

They do suit the car very well.

Lovely wheels. But then I am biased!

I had those on my E85. Great wheels, they don't crack, they look fabulous and are very easy to clean

Thanks for the positive comments everybody. As you can probably guess I am really pleased. The thing is what do I do next. Any suggestions?

Not a bad idea Andy. But we are already going to Borrowdale because we can take the dogs. So it will have to be in the 330d.
