They suit the e89 really well and that colour goes really well with the white. Are they any less prone to cracking than the Oem 19” ones?
Now, Sterling grey Z4 2.2 with cup holders, stubby aerial and sport seats. Roadsters ‘cause they’re great with the roof down.
Ford Anglia, Red Sprite, a few MG midgets, MGB Roadster and yellow Ford Capri, all gone many years now.

My 326 wheels cracked twice in 9months, the Veemanns have been on my car for almost 5years & no problems-there’s a few guys on here who use them now and I’ve not heard of any issues.

I had a bit of bother changing the wheels over, the winter wheels came of no problem but the Veemanns wouldn’t go back on, on examination the painter had coated inside the hub which is a tight fit over the flange on the car anyway - the thickness of the paint meant it was never going to happen.
After a quick tidy up of the discs it was another job to remove the paint before the wheels could go back on :roll:

Your Veemans look fantastic Rob. :thumbsup:

I'm not normally a fan of dark wheels as they can lose definition, but yours really work well especially on your white car.
