I've since sold the car though. Changed for a Mini JCW of all things but such a fun little car.

Has anyone got style 294 V spoke in ferrite grey or similar on a space grey e89? If so, would you mind uploading a photo?
I'm going to refurb mine this year and pondering over changing colour to grey.
Refurbing as the lacquer (I think it's lacquer anyway!) is blistering and flaking off, also corrosion around split-rim bolts.
Before photo below.

It is indeed. Sold locally in South Wales so must have been traded out up country. They haven't bothered to put the standard wheels on, either haha!

After my 287's(from an E91) on 35i to replace 294's here's a pic
287's got GoodyearEagle F1 non runflats. 294's on Bridgestone runflats so be interesting to see difference in comfort and noise

Thought it about time I said hello. The wheels thread seems as good a place as any :thumbsup: .

Really happy with the look, very similar (but cheaper) than the Apex ARC-8

I’m thinking 437m might be the way to go for me. O.E., forged, so light and strong, and really suit the E89 IMHO :thumbsup:
