326 Alloy alternatives
Hi people
As expected I have a small crack in each of my rear alloys. I am looking at alternatives as they will only crack again if repaired.
Has anyone found a good set that look similar and are a perfect fit and size? If so can you please post details and photos on your car?
Thanks in advance.

Rob (clarker63) considered these as they look very similar to 326’s but in the end bought 2 new rear 326’s

Veemans would’ve been my replacement choice too. Gone up a bit in price since I last liked at themReamesy wrote: ↑Sun Jul 17, 2022 8:04 pm Cheers Andy. Will probably go with these

Hi OP
i got these last year to replace the originals ( still have a full set in the garage) I’m pretty sure I got these from wheelbase alloy also

No issues with cracks and I assume you have ditched the RFs?

Thank you for the input.

Had Veemanns on my e89 for several years now, in that time I’ve not heard of any cracking so I’d definitely recommend
