Hey looking to swap my alloys for a set of the split rim 108 style alloys. Dont know what mine are called, 224 I think but heres a pic. Alloys are in fair condition with a few kerb marks but nothing major.

Could add cash to equation. Or if anybody has a set for sale let me know :grin:
 
Just dropped you a PM, I'm looking for a set of MV2s (which is what you have) to replace my CSLs so maybe we could work out a trade or I could trade/buy from whoever gets them.
 
I love the csl's think they look great. Thought they are worth much more than mine though ? Whats the condition like ? Are tyres alot more expensive ?

Hi..

Don't take this the wrong way, but IMHO - a set of MV2's (genuine or otherwise), are a good bit less in value terms - compared to a set of BBS 108 2 piece split rims.. :oops:

You never know, someone may have a set of 108s in a shed etc, that are surplus to requirements.. :wink:

Good luck with the quest though.. :thumbsup:

Thanks for that im kind of new to the z4 scene so have no idea whats more valuable. I should probably edit the first post but im willing to add some cash to the deal or would consider buying a set and using the mv2 as winter wheels
 
108s were the most expensive option wheel on non-M Zs ; I think (though am not certain) that the MV2s were the standard wheel on Sport models. If you price up some new 108s on the BMW eBay site a set will sting you way north of £2k. That said, you should only pay top money for mint ones. If they need a refurb - and you want them done properly - they cost about 25% more to do due to the need to split them.

Can't help you with values of each second hand, but hopefully there's something useful in all that :thumbsup:

+1

I have a receipt for when bmw replaced all 4 of mine due to corrosion under the warranty and it was over £1800 in 2010.

However second hand values are totally different... An e85 with mv2 will be valued the same as a car with 108's.... If the 108's are shabby will prob devalue the car even.

Personally i would put your wheels in a shed and get a set of aftermarket with non run flats.

When you sell put the originals back on.

I have a brand nee set of 108's in my garaged boxed with my original run flats for this purpose.

I guess I should clarify what I said - 'top money' doesn't mean you're looking at £2k for a mint set. As aquazi says, second hand values are a lot less, and I'd guess that because of the fact they corrode you couldn't buy a used set in good condition that haven't been refurbed by now. Thinking about it I would not pay more than £5-600 for a set, and they'd have to be perfect and refurbed to OEM.

Chap on here used to do good business taking old 108s off people and selling refurbed - but not OEM with the Diamond cut rim - for about £400 IIRC.
