Anyone seeking 19inch alloys for E89? NEW

[mr wilks]

I,m sticking my neck on the block here & not wanting to offend but i prefer the original wheels 8) just personal preference :wink:
Glad you like em though & certainly a bargain

I knew someone would say that.

I loved the 296 wheels, they really do look well when clean. I couldn't resist the 313s though, they're so rare.

It wasn't a criticism , more observation , the pic of your car in signature does look great as it is

Very very nice maniac!

Dibs if you ever decide to sell them

Look fantastic maniac, the shiny new bolts you posted earlier in the week, I have the same and after just one winter this is what they look like

think I would stick to the original bolts or source some that are better coated. Anyway again car looks the biz.

No offence taken at all.. I think they look fab.. Better in the flesh, I'm not the greatest photographer.

They really do look lush, however I think you could do with painting your calipers, getting a set of drilled disc's and fitting some 5-8mm spacers

Calipers are painted! Silver. Had them done as part of my pro detail. As for brakes upgrade.. Perhaps on my birthday lol

Ah see you should have gone with red or yellow and I would have noticed

I'm trying to sophisticated sars, not boy racer .. Tho admittedly I did think about doing them in a bright colour originally...

Love them......I think they look great.
Just different from the norm' so will take some getting used to.
I'll give you what you back paid for them if you're not sure

I do like them... I like your old alloys too... These seem more elegant, while these seem more aggressive.

But i think i prefer the look of the 326 as these seem too umm bling with the polished face.

The 296 have a diamond cut/polished face also. It's this that made me want the 313 performance over the 326. When sun hits the polished faces the wheels light up.. Stunning.

 

[jonnywells]

What you doing with ur old alloys?

 

[Maniac]

Probably sell the 296s.. I have 5 (bought an extra rear in case I kerbed one).. Was thinking winter wheels but I don't live somewhere the weathers bad enough..

Walked out to look at the 313s again... Love em...

 

[jonnywells]

How much you thinking? Prob inc the bridgstones you removed as well?

could be tempted if the price is right

 

[Maniac]

PM me with an offer?

 

[jonnywells]

Hmmm will have to have a think. Maybe drop me a pm with an idea at least I really have no idea what you would be willing to sell for.....

 

[ocrx8]

I'm sad to say it but I prefer the old wheels! New ones look a bit 'spindley', the same reason why I'm not so keen on my 108s. Still, glad you're happy with them!

 

[Maniac]

Yep I'm ecstatic with them, they look outstanding in the flesh!

Quite amazed how many don't like them...

I can't uderstand why either!

...Any chance you could compare the weights to your old ones (not actual weights but how they feel driven )

Well I've run these for a few days now... They feel very very different. I can't quite believe the difference. Grip is slightly improved, turn in is more direct especially at speed and feedback is hugely improved. This can only be down to them being lighter, there's no other reason I can think of.

I can feel much more of the road, which on rough roads makes me nervous, but on nicer roads the difference is just so hard to believe. I really don't know how much lighter these are, can't be much surely. Still a bit staggered how much different they feel, I thought only tyres would make much difference to a cars feel, but they're the same tyres I had on the 296s so its got to be the 313s.

On a negative, it also makes imperfections harsher, so I'm going to use all 306bhp to get me into some non RFTs asap. Still smilin'
