Wasn't certain about these when I bought them but now they're on I'm loving them!

Fully expect them to divide opinion...

Bad pic, can’t tell if the car is still on the jack or not as the rear wheel looks a bit lost. Have a run then pop a pic of the car after it’s settled. Nice wheel though. :thumbsup:

I'll get some more tomorrow but yeah it needs to settle for sure. The rim sits pretty flush with the arch so I'm really pleased

Not personally a fan of the 666's, but they do suit the e89 surprisingly well

I quite like them, but then all that really matters is that greg81 does. :thumbsup:

I'd certainly be very wary parallel parking with them though!

Settled down a bit now. A small spacer may improve the rear a little but I'm pretty happy with them as-is
