E89 replacement alloy suggestions

They are 8inch front and 9inch rears fitted with 225/35/R19 and 255/30/R19 FALKEN FK510 tyres. The car is not lowered.

Interesting; why did you go for those sizes and not the .5’s?

That’s how they came. I bought a package from LK including the tyres for just over £1100 in February. Looking at their website now they are over £1364 for the same package! The Fox wheels come in 8.5inch and 9.5inch but I wasn’t keen on the rim style.

Is there much difference between 8” & 9” and 8.5” & 9.5” when they’re on the car?

When I bought the car it had 8inch all round so I can’t really tell you. It feels pretty planted now but I guess that has something to do with the new tyres as the old ones were fairly knackered. I haven’t noticed any difference in ride comfort going from 18inch to 19inch. I doubt anyone driving the car could tell whether it had 8 and 9 as opposed to 8.5 and 9.5.
