Thoughts on these 108-replacement wheels?

[Chris_D]

Looking at these as suitable replacements for my tatty 108's.
I always liked the simple 5 spoke look and wanted to achieve the 'deepest' concavity as possible.
These seem to fit the bill imho.
Thoughts?
Best size tyres?

I think they look heavy and dominate rather than enhance all of the examples you posted, I imagine they might look even more so on the less bulky Z4. If you want 5 spoke deep dish I guess they are a great wheel but a bit 'aftermarket' for my taste.

They also look like they will be vulnerable to kerbing and fitting marks, it might be worth finding out how owners got on with them.

Yup I like those Chris, as said not sure how they would look on the Zed but they are nice and simple.

I agree about the heavy comment above. Almost look they'd be better suited to an X5

 

[Zoomer]

Should look good on a Zed.

 

[Chris_D]

Thx for the comments. All goes in the pot!

Couldnt find a piccy of them mounted on a z4 sadly. Theres a distributor up in the North of Holland who I'm thinking about contacting. Maybe has a set with rubber on that I could try on for size..

What about these - Niche Veronas? More spokes look less 'heavy' (subjective opinion of course). I looked very closely at these for my Zed, but I'm not sure the offset was ideal from memory.

Nce dish on them.
But wanted to stick to the 5 spoke format ideally, and to resemble the aesthetic of the 108s a little bit.
Found some a while ago but they looked to much like Ferrari 360 wheels.

I think they would work. Looks to be a slightly wider spoke than these.

Nice find

Found a different angle of that same z

were you thinking 18s or 19s? have you looked at OEMS wheels, either the FS2 or the 115 are a 5 spoke design.

Thanks for the link. Both those styles look top notch!
Food for thought...

Interesting thread - I like the 5 spoke look too, but we all know the issues you get with 108s!

Those OEMS 115 wheels look great!

Then again I really like the look of those 10 spoke wheels in Stuartt's signature picture. :?

I put OEM style 203's on mine and liked the look...

They are V FS24's Stuart & look a treat

I’m a fan of simple five spike wheels too. Wanted to stick with BMW OE. Style 189s on mine. Quite a nice dish on them too. These need a refurb though.
