lol indeed, those all seem to be 19". The CSL-like wheels don't really look that good in 18". I think I'll go for something 5-spoke-ish... Of all suggestions, I'm still most fond of the 224s. Just not sure what colour I would like them to be. Perhaps dark grey. The calipers could do with some paint as well... but what colour? choices, choices, choices ...

Calipers have to be acid green (only because thats the colour i'm getting painted)

You can't go wrong with 224s........only availability and cost are my issues, but you may be lucky

There are a few of them available on Ebay in Germany, just have to pay attention to get the actual staggered set. But as I don't need tyres, current prices are not that bad (around 750 to 900 euro for the set) for this region.

I picked my 224s for £350

needed refurb but they were not terrible. I had them in gunmetal and it looked great on silver grey coupe.

224 or 108

I've had the 108s before and I don't understand why these are so popular. They corroded all the time, regardless of how many times I got them refurbished... Got rid of them in the end.
