Looking forward to seeing them
My car has failed it’s MOT due to both rear wheels having cracks (326 type) and due to the number of cracks and previous welds they cannot be repaired. eBay only has wheels that are already cracked or very expensive so am looking at a new set of alloys to get me through the MOT. I am only planning to keep the car until March 2022 so don’t want to go too expensive. I like the look of these https://www.wheelbasealloys.com/alloy-wheels/riva//hyper-silver/19-inch-wider-rear/bmw/z4/e89 would I be able to swap my current tyres over to the new alloys?

Owned the car since July and, although the wheels are in decent condition, there's a bit of mild kerbing so they'll be going in for a refurb soon. I don't want to go too dark so my options are really only to retain the bright silver look or perhaps go for a glossy anthractie/mid grey. Can't decide. :?

Very glad my 35iS came with 18" 295s. Excellent wheels that put enough rubber between car and road to help the suspension, minimise damage from pot-holes and kerbing, ventilate and display the model's big discs and are easy to clean. At 81k, they're in good general condition, too.Mr Tidy said:

If I keep them, I’ll take them off and ceramic coat them and then most of the dirt will come off at the pressure washer stage. I’ve then got, what I can only describe, a cleaning pad on a bendy stick… clean behind several spokes at once.
They are sort of growing on me again :?

Not going to be able to report on long term cleaning difficulties with these as I have sold them…. Very, very nice wheels but just not quite right on my car for me.
I’m liking the look of the Apex Arc 8 copies from Strom, the Veemann VSF25’s or possibly a five spoke option as the E89 does seem to suit 5 spoke wheel styles.
Well I finally ditched the RFTs and also got some new wheels, Veeman V-FS33s and Conti Sport 7s.
Went to BM Autosport - the folks there were really good - knowledgable, friendly and easy to do business with. Recommend.
Really pleased with the look and the ride quality is oh soooo much better
I can attest that the Contis are good in the wet, it rained all day, so no chance to get the roof down

They look nice!
Can’t go wrong with a 5 spoke design on the E89!
