No it was this guy. Very similar. I paid on Monday and heard nothing. I emailed every day to ask if they will be dispatched soon. Nothing again until I requested cancellation. Not how I do business 🙄

We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…

+1 for the 437M alloys. The only other alloy that looks really great on the E89 imo. I couldn't afford to spring £3k for a set of genuine ones plus tyres, so I got some from cmwheels a few years ago. They set me back about £500 for the set. 19" staggered 8.5j/9.5j. Not forged as far as I would imagine but fine for everyday driving. Only problem is cmwheels no longer sells them... not sure what's happened as the selection on that site has absolutely died recently and they're not stocking nearly as much variety as they used to.

Here's a pic of the wheels on the car. They're diamond cut and painted gun metal grey:

    Before I put them on I was adamant they were going to be silver. But now seeing them; black is the new silver😎👍

    Crikey…OP didn’t hang around…I thought I was dedicated checking the tyre pressures on the Volvo when I got home…

    As usual photos don’t show the gloss black as well as they look in the flesh… :thumbsup:

    Good to see them going to an appreciative home…

    I'm not normally a fan of dark wheels, but gloss black works well on your white car. And they are a great looking wheel. :thumbsup:
