Opinions on new wheels

Post by bryand » Fri May 10, 2019 10:49 pm

I'm in the market for a new set of wheels and have narrowed it down to the following two options and although ultimately it's down to personal choice it would be nice to hear some other opinions.

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/it ... 022173022/

Also with this in mind I will have a set of 326's that I will be looking to move on, they could do with a refurb and the left rear has recently been welded in two places, I have no idea of value so it would be nice if anyone has a ballpark figure to put them up for when the time comes.

Thanks in advance

Both your above choices have been proven to look well on E89s so don't think you will fail with either.
326s vary wildly depending on if all 4 are without splits & what tyres are fitted so you would need to offer up more details to get rough value :thumbsup:

The first link M4 style wheels would be my choice - less fussy

I will clean them up and get some pictures when the time comes so I can give an honest description, also would be without tyres, I'm not looking to make a fortune out of them, would just rather they went to a good home rather than going to waste.

Good to see a happy customer, the reviews of the place online are generally positive. Looking good too.

Love the set in the first link. Second set are too fussy for these eyes. Enjoy which ever you choose. :thumbsup:
