276’s I put a brand new set on my 35iS

New owner almost couldn’t give them away when he decided to change them. I liked the looks and simplicity to clean :thumbsup:

      They look a lot better on the white one than the VO TBH. They look like bigger 325s on Andy's (now Will's of course) one.

      Funny how certain pictures, in certain light can make things look so different?
      All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

      F31 320i. Good car.
      E89 20i Now fully dried
      Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
      Mazda3 sold
      Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!

      That’s what I was thinking, I wonder how they’ll look on my black Zed. Like the design overall clean and simple but looks best in 19” and yes they are similar to the 325 but somewhat different.

      Can’t find any on eBay but found some online BMW store for around £354 for the set. Seems like a cheap way into genuine BMW 19” rims only problem for me is how to get them over to Spain and the 18” Goodyear F1s I put on mine four years ago still have a lot of thread left on them so might be a waste of money changing them out now.

      “ Can’t find any on eBay but found some online BMW store for around £354 for the set. Seems like a cheap way into genuine BMW 19” rims only problem for me is how to get them over to Spain”

      That’s the same sort of price as mine BUT they came DIRECT to me from Europe. Might still be worth contacting to see if the wheels are physically in Europe and get delivered directly to you?

        Where was this thread when I was trying to sell mine? :rofl:

        I didn't dislike the wheels, I just fancied doing something different. Similar-ish design to the 326m's but a fraction of the price and seemingly more robust.

        I think they were sold new specifically as an e89 wheel, and possibly never offered on the car from the factory, so there are hardly any around.

        Will have to look around see if I can find any in Europe, but still not quite sure how they would look on my black car, as Pondrew pointed out they seem to look better on certain colours.
