Tough call ahead , really like the way the car looks on the aftermarket shoes & also how it drives on the Conti rubber .
Bought these alloys earlier in the week off our very own "maniac" so had to try them on the car for comparison , 19inch OEM from the E89 so give a great stance due to the staggered offsets being lower than standard E85 E86
Really surprised how little difference in road noise & comfort there is on the Pirelli 19inch RFTs :? not as grippy as the Contis but car drove well on them with standard SE spec suspension
One set has to go though :cry:

Love those 19" wheel :thumbsup: big fan of OEM wheels.

Interesting heating you say about the ride. I have been considering going back to 18" wheels.

That surprises me :?
Big fan of your current set up but didn't want all black alloys & these 18s were the closest style i could get to yours without buying the same ones :oops:

Not sure if i like them. They look a little too modern, weirdly.

I think they'd suit if the car was lower.
 
I liked the style of your old wheels it's black diamond cut I'm not a big fan of

Love the 296's :thumbsup: but these are the most prone to cracks, so be careful with 'em. Maybe needs a little drop to fill the arch IMO.
If I'm honest, I wasn't a massive fan of the others too, don't know what is was but something didn't quite work with them.

I am a fan of OEM & if the car was a £10k machine then i would stick to that route but i do like the stance of the car with the aftermarkets on :wink:

Done :thumbsup:
 
Much prefer the new ones, not so keen on the other ones (too dark)
 
Out of the two :poke:

The 19's, but now you mention it you have a set of 108's up for sale, stick them on :thumbsup:
