Thanks for all the positive comments guys Yeah I might do the discs and callipers but that'll probably be next year. Need to get some caps for those unsightly wheel bolt heads first.

These look amazing Del! Seriously tempting me towards them for some winter wheels to protect my 313s. Are the faces of the wheel machined or painted? I want to stop de-icing salt damage.

Machined and lacquered. It was a toss up for me between the 313s and these also. These won in the end.

They look superb OP! Transformed the car. Don't forget you can flog your old wheels and tyres.... You'll get £2/300 for them, maybe more.
Can we see a face on pic of one of the wheels please? Want to see if they are silver or silver/gun metal, can't quite tell....
What are you doing about a spare wheel in case of puncture?

I'll post one up later. They are gunmetal. Quite a dark grey. Similar to the cars paintwork but possibly a bit darker.

I've just got a can of the squirty stuff for now and a compressor. I was thinking about selling the wheels but might keep them and put winter tyres on. Not sure yet.

These are good wheels but seemingly out of stock! I am tempted to exchange my similarly styled 19 inchers (326?) mainly because of the crack risk with those (even though they are fine). So, are these any better at avoiding cracks? and where are they made - the make of the wheels is not clear? Lastly, what's the view of the gunmetal/machined look with Alpine White. Too much?

I tried taking a couple of pics of the wheels straight on but they haven't come out too well but I've posted a photo I found online of them which shows the colour pretty well. As for the make of them I don't know. Time will tell for cracks I think the gunmetal would look good but the wheels also come in black with machined faces. This might be a good choice for your alpine white car.

I'm also contemplating these wheels as as replacement for my 326s. How have they fared after a couple of years, both from a cracking perspective and the machined face?

cheers Rob.. ok. I am interested in some veemans too(as you have) but its quite hard choosing a style that I think will work. There was a good deal on from veemans direct over the weekend 35% off.. but I wanted graphite colour and they didn't have them in the styles I wanted.. looking at lots of pictures of e89s with different wheels too.. but yet to decide..Smartbear wrote: ↑Tue Dec 01, 2020 7:52 pmYou might have a bit of a wait, Del sold his zed last year

A very handsome wheel.
And I'll bet the Romanians at my car wash would appreciate it, too.

Sligtly OT question pls, I see that many of you aren't using Run Flats anymore.
What do you guys use in the event of a punture, at my end puntures are pretty common
due to no small part of many sharp debri.
Thanks
