Fitted 295 style e89 wheels to e85... Like?

[ErrErrminator]

I like those a lot. I’m a big fan of simpler design wheels, so ‘five spokes’ gets the thumbs up!

They work very well. Simple clean dateless design..
We'll done bud.

They look really good on the car, I have 108s on mine and love the look.

Looks great , the offsets work well with E85 E86 & imo suit the smaller arches better than they do on E89 :?

 

[mr wilks]

Thanks all, yeah I agree simpler 5 spoke design is nice - and timeless. Looks good with a shade more poke out as well.

 

[enzed4]

Looking good . The 'twist' in the centre of the spokes is a nice touch.

 

[Mr Tidy]

They look really good OP!

I like the 5 spoke wheels - my 1st Coupe have MV2s and they were a PITA to clean.

Were these the set advertised on here recently? Just asking because I've been umming and ahhing about them!

 

[Mr Tidy]

Oh well, that's made my mind up for me!

 

[Zoomer]

Look really good

 

[Chenti]

Look good, I like the 5 spoke

Will have to keep a look out for some myself :?

Mine ( bought today ) are in need of a good refurb and it may be wise to use them in the winter and get some for best/summer.

Do all e89 oem’s drop straight into the e85?

I like them, as already said above they suit the E85 more than the e89

Are these details correct? Surely the fronts would rub

If the car is lowered id expect rubbing & even if not the front tyre size may need tweaking slightly .
I ran the style 326s on my previous Si E86 , 225 35 19 8j et 29 , only on heavy compression did they rub & a drop to 215 35 would have cured it i think ? Will know shortly as i have another set to collect this week that will be going on current lowered Si coupe 215 35 from the off

I agree they look much better on the E85 than on the the E89. I have them on my 3.5is and I think they look a tad on the small size. Although I quite like the style. It is a shame they don’t do them in 19 inch too. I am still dithering about what to replace them with. I like the CSL styles and have had some help from Mr Wilks re: tyre sizes etc but still haven’t made my mind up what to replace them with.

Yeah they'd be nice in 19s. Looking at my arches and the lack of space there I don't think I'd have been able to fit 19s.

If you sell yours there a few people on this thread who might want to buy them! (Mr Tidy and Chenti).

Thanks for that. Yes I will probably advertise them on the Forum once I have made my mind up definitely about replacements. I like the look of the Strom 359s and also of some of the Veeman wheels too. From what other members say the Veemans are good quality and are highly thought of. I’m not a quick mover but I’ll get there in the end.
