I have the 108’s on mine and think they are so well suited to the car.

The only issue with the 108's is they peel at the bolts and corrosion kicks in. Otherwise they would be great and that they are split rim just makes refurbish them a lot more costly and a hassle.

I like the 224's and I am putting 224's on mine this Tuesday and my 108's will likely be stored away as they aren't worth selling. When I sell the car I'll likley sell the 224's seperately and put the 108's back on.

Love the 107s, but as with a lot of the E85 wheels they seem to need the rear spaced out to properly fill the arches.

Always happy to help if I can.

If the forum helped you, why not help the forum back. Thats the Z4 way! :thumbsup:

I like 107s and style 32. As good as they look CSL Reps are just a bit predictable!

I really liked the E89 Style 295s I fitted to my previous Coupe (so easy to clean too). :D

Very nice. Has your car been lowered? Also are you using spacers? They seem to fill the arches a lot

They don't do it for me. Looks like the spokes have been warped/twisted.

I got a cheap set of 325M but I think they really suit it.
