Thanks, they are Classic C13's by Alpina. if you don't let them get dirty then they are not too bad to clean. Plus, I don't drive the car much.
Front Wheels: 8Jx19 ET36 245 tyres
Rear Wheels: 9Jx19 ET47 265 tyres

From memory, it has12mm spacers all round.

Thank you

Well I can only share with you Gents my new rims. They're Vertini Magic Concave 8.5 F & 9.5 R 19 inch with 35m+offset.
Now running on 18 inch will await for Eibach springs to arrive install & tested before changing to 19 inch.

Lowered on Eibach Springs but with the 19s and run-flats was simply ridiculously harsh. Have now swapped for 17s and it is night and day. Still looks quite good though.

As great as 19's look I'm leaning back towards just lowering it and staying on 18s as I don't want an overly harsh ride, I'll see what it looks like after the eibachs go on, I'll probably still go for a new set of 18" wheels though

I can’t say about the lowered side but I don’t find mine harsh on the 19’s on M Sport suspension. I’ve gone one size wider on the tyres which gives slightly more sidewall and footprint, I’m on Michelin’s 235//35 & 265/30’s

Will be interested in your view on the Eibachs..so you are non MSport going to which version of the springs? https://www.eibachshop.co.uk/eibach-prokit-performance-spring-kit-e10200190122_p31223213.htm

Don't know, bought them used on the forum, seller thinks they are 15/20 drop but ill check the numbers on them when they land, anything will be an improvement on current wheel arch gap though

Be aware though that tyre make and actual wheel choice is critical. Try and stick to BMW original wheels if you can (second hand) or spend £200+ per wheel
