not seen them mate, you got a pic

Yes, here are a couple - same staggered sizes as 108s, but fronts are ET29 and rears are ET40.

What do we all think?

Well you certainly nailed Ruby Black in the sun!

Even if it mostly just looks black.

I like 108s, but they are high maintenance so I moved mine on.

A bit like Mrs Tidy, who also now lives at a different address.

Classic!

Cheers mate wanted to capture it best as possible, it does pop so much after a good going over with the rotary n then some wax it seems.

108s shouldn't be around for long just until I can afford some new 19s. Haven't quite decided whaf yet though

Ahh yes very simmlar to the 19 inch twists you get in the e9*s. Good choice

From your past exploits I suspect you'll change your mind a few times!

Looking forward to see what you do go for anyway.

Thanks mate.

Small update nothing exciting but an update nontheless

They've got a sale on auto finesse products in Halfords at the moment so took advantage an got a few bits

Then I polished it using their tripple which leaves a lovely deep glossy finish

Also gave the leather a bit of feeding as it felt a bit dry

Picked up some led bulbs too for the interior worth a punt for a fiver

The 4 rings does have a strange draw... came from there to my old Z, went back, then dieselgate... which led me into 2 estates, before returning to the fold.

Looks lovely, surprised you’re not tempted to keep those 241’s, makes it very unusual & special - in a way didn’t like 108’s before I got my first, after a day wouldn’t change them for the world

Thanks Jembo I have still got the 241s bur they are cracked in 5cplaces so will just do for inbetween wheel changes.

Next piece of the puzzle I went to collect today

These are the more upmarket ones they do so will be interesting to see how it rides and handles

I've got that kit on mine. I find the ride quite harsh. Looking at getting a set of BC coilovers.

depends what your used to i guess? Ive had nothing but JOM and FK budgets in the past (maybe 50/80 sets

) so I'm interested to see how they compare

Just fitted the Stance+ coilovers, suitably impressed! Needs an alignment and final adjustments but they seem good

Happy with the height too, don't want to go much lower as I have to navigate a road built in 1850 every time I go out in it

Just bagged myself a m sport steering wheel this morning after jumping In early as soon as I saw a red z4 m sport being broken

Also painted the grilles black. Never had black grilles before but thinking with the Ruby paint they'll tie in well.
