Think the best solution is 19” for photos and garage queening, 13” Ford Capri 4-spoke Rostyles for motoring (Firestone boots anyone?)
jenniferlouise said:I’m thinking similar to you Peter I’m having a machine polish professionally done, then build up the wax again. I had not noticed the slight dulling of the paint on our 2010 car until I had the front bumper repainted in November, which now shows the rest of the car up!
The machine polish / detail / hard wax is booked in, so it will pop when we get along to the BMW Event in April![]()

True-Blue said:Just picked up a set of ‘BMW Performance’ style 269 19’s to try on the E89.
Not sure what’s so ‘Performance’ about them, as they’re not especially light… but they’re fairly rare and look pretty
They are fitted with a brand new set of PS4S’s, and the wheels are in fabulous condition, which made the price too good to ignore. Just a little bit dusty, so need a clean and I’ll ceramic coat them![]()
Might need some spacers to sit how I want them, but if I don’t like them I’ll keep the tires and sell the wheels on. It’s such a nice surprise when something turns out to be exactly as advertised![]()

Rears are 9J ET 39 - so not much different to 8.5J ET40
Fronts are 8J ET 37, so sit inboard by 8mm more than standard 8J ET 29

Which options?Marcoose said:Headlamps en route to OSS in North Carolina. Back in a fortnight or so.
None of the ones on their website. I’ve asked for everything chrome/silver to be painted sapphire black including the eyebrow. I’m not keen on the square lights, fancy flashing options, etc. It’s a simpler job.Christopher72 said:Which options?Marcoose said:Headlamps en route to OSS in North Carolina.
