Is There a Market For 108s?...

[JimF]

Just a quick one really. I'll be buying a Coupe in the next few weeks and I cant stand the style 108 wheels. Are they a reasonably popular wheel? Would someone with the standard multispokes be willing to swap etc?

[Terryvision]

Yep very popular wheel

 

[jimbo1958]

Best looking wheels on the E85/86 roadsters IMO.

 

[JimF]

I know I'm in the minority, thats good to hear there'll be people willing to exchange then!

 

[Wyldie85]

I agree with you JimF, not a fan. Make the car look very dated.

Are you after MV2's?

 

[csl1973]

I'd love a set of 108s. But I only have these

 

[JimF]

Yes MV2s is what is be after when I get a coupe if it does not already have hem

 

[chriswoodward]

I would swap my 108's for those MV2's in a heartbeat.

 

[JimF]

Hands off they're mine :lol:

 

[Wyldie85]

Appears Chris or csl1973 might be the people to speak to should your coupe come with 108's then...

Same condition MV2s don't fetch what 108s do :wink: beauty is in the eye of the beholder & we all have our favourites but no need to worry about selling a decent set of BBS split rim alloys , they'l always be in demand

 

[JimF]

Good to hear!

Got 107's, would not swap for 108's

Got 107's, would not swap for 108's

Don't blame you imo they are the best looking wheel on the zed

 

[BradleyB]

Ive had 108s and 107s on my Zed, both are shite looking and too small :wink:

Shite looking but you've had them both..?!

 

[ZermattV]

As is the engine

Interesting topic as I'm wondering about switching from 108's.

On my old roadster I stripped the originals, had both inners and outers powder coated and reassembled. After less than two years the lacquer started to bubble on a number of the m7 bolt holes. Was washing my coupe the other day and noticed.. weirdly it's only on the rears.

got a spare set in the garage and am contemplating refurbishing them and having the existing set as a winter set, it's just more hassle, cost and time, and they will never be as durable as a one piece alloy.

+1 for the best suited wheel for a Z4, 108's all the way. Unless someone offers me a free set of original CSL's.........
