108's v MV2's
So I have swapped over my 108's to a lovely set of MV2s.. IMHO I much prefer the MV2's but I realise they it's very much down to personal taste.... I've put the 108's on a well known auction site but let me know if anyone's interested then feel free to get in touch.

108's v MV2's
Personally I'm not a fan of the 108s; I know people like them for their lightness plus they were unique to the Z4, but I'm not a fan of thin-designed wheels - I prefer my wheels to have a bit of chunkiness to them (ex E55 AMG with monoblock alloys owner here ).
My car had MV2s on it when I bought it; recently swapped them for 107s which is what i wanted all along. The MV2s grew on me though.

108's v MV2's
I've had both - the biggest drawback with MV2s is when you wash the car!
Coupes because stunning!

108's v MV2's
Funny, I'm the opposite - MV2 are way too common. However, my newly refurbished 108s inevitably corrode, I might swap to 107s

108's v MV2's
If I'm honest I would have probably kept the 108s on the car but the quotes I was getting for refurbing them were crazy and the stories I've read about DIY refurbs scared me senseless and that was the final nail in the 108 coffin... But as I said at the very beginning.. Its personal preference.... Saying that I think the 108s look really good on the coupe!.. As the Kinks said... "It's a mixed-up, muddled-up, shook-up world"

I think the 108s do look good when they are in prestine condition. The corrosion is always a worry. MV2s are nice too, just a bit of pain to clean between the spokes.

Not a fan of MV2s- they are too common and non z specific . The 108s look better on your car imho.

I think the Car looks much better on the 108's. I'd be interested in buying your set. How much would you be after?

Try looking out of another window then..
If you ever think I'm off my rocker.. Just put me back in it and walk away... It's the kindest thing
