I feel I shouldn't like them but I do.

Picture, pictures, pictures. How do they drive?

The star pattern seems to give me about an extra 10% torque but otherwise they feel just like the 19s they replaced

I like the wheel on its own, hate it on the M4 but it’s not so bad on the Z

I think spacers and suspension really can make a wheel though.

Interesting. Maybe not so marmite after all!

I have a set of brand new spacers which I did not need, the spare set of wheels from my old E92 fit the E89 perfect.

I only test fitted one spacer.

Still boxed, let me know if you are interested.

Hey, thanks for the offer but I'm a bit skint at the moment. After new wheels and tyres.

No worries, I was going to say if you are local you can collect for £10, I won't be using them so they will just in the box for now.

Ah that's very kind but unfortunately I'm up in Edinburgh '(

They look really good Greg, when I saw what you were thinking of I wasn't sure as I had only seen them on a E85, but now seeing them on a E89

Cheers! I certainly thought I'd messed up pretty badly after ordering them but I'm seriously happy now!
