Starting an E89 wheels thread, as I can’t find one...

Feel free to post a photo of your E89 and state which wheels and size are fitted :thumbsup:

I've put some 19" 442's ( fronts 225/40/19, rears 255/35/19 - standard fit) on whilst I get my 326's fixed (although I am in two minds about this as they need a refurb + 2 new rears as well so I would need to spend £800 - on wheels that will probably crack again ). I spent ages trying to work out what wheels would like best on mine (inc the M4s and different styles of veemans) and never came to any concrete conclusion as I really like the 326's on it. I found these on ebay, for a steal - unmarked/refurbed alloys with good tyres and tpms valves (which I then realised I didn't need) for £450 and whilst they could do with some spacers on the back (I'll do that when it gets a little warmer), I am happy with the overall look, for the moment at least... :wink:

Still got ye olde bog standard 325M 18 inchers on mine. Now shod with Assy5s which are a vast improvement.
Easy to clean and I like the look of them.
Since taking this photo I have added a 15mm spacer on the rears as they sat a bit too deep in the arches.

I like the 296's too, and on my last E89 they were fine... but I also managed to avoid any major potholes with them. The 326's appear to be particularly prone to failure.. which is a real shame as I think they are the best looking wheel for the car (but everyone has their own favourite!).
