Hi guys,

After getting a few scuffs on my wheels rather then repairing them i'm thinking of changing from 18'' m sport multispokes to 108's as i'm realizing they look much better. To help me confirm my decision I'm after your pics if you have 108 wheels. Please help me :driving:
 
thanks mike that really helps i just hate cleaning the //m wheels fair to many spokes. :oops:

come on guys there must be loads of you with 108s!??? :poke:
 
Mine's white with 108's.

IMHO they are by far the prettiest wheels around, but look out for the kerb damage and corrosion :(
 
Fist pics of mine

ell_p, 108 corrosion is a problem, mine are still looking good with no signs yet. Car was built Aug06, registered by dealer Dec06, bought by me May07 with 71 miles on clock.

Car is cleaned at least every two weeks, use a MF mit to clean wheels, including the insides, which is very easy due to large holes. I had the MV2's like yours on my old 3 series coupe and they were a bith to clean.

Wheels are also waxed inside and out every so often. I think the most important thing to do though is avoid kerb damage, as any damage to the lacquer will just start the problem off.
 
If you do get corrosion it is expensive to get them refurbished :( I kerbed mine which didnt help :oops:

Ive now got 203s - still five spoke but nicer IMO :) See some pictures in this thread

:D
