Random wheel poll

Izzyspi · Post by **Izzyspi** » Thu Apr 20, 2017 9:59 pm

Hi chaps,
Can't make my mind up on wheels for my Zed. Got 108s currently and just got hold of a cheap set of 107s.
I love the look of the 108s but the corrosion issues are a pain. I can't work out if I like the 107s as much, not sure why. I flip from 1 day to the next, so figured I'd get a view from the community.

So, which style feels the love....?

Got rid of my 108's for 107's and never looked back.

Its 107's for me over 108's I've decided that at least. I know where your coming from with this can't make your mind up business. Its why I still haven't got around to refurbishing my 107's after nearly 2 years of ownership. One day they're staying the next they're going

I understand the corrosion issues etc of the 108s but the 107s don't quite do it for me....

I like both! There's no option for that! I think 107s and 202s are the best looking standard zed wheels, I set out to replace my 108s with 107s but I came back with another set of 108s! They are a pain to keep in good nick but damn they look good when they're immaculate! Still would like a nice set of 107s though!

In the current political climate, I think it may be described as a snap poll!

Not a huge fan of either, but 107s are better by a country mile imo!

This.

The 108's IMO look much better than the 107's. I had a "oh my god 108's corrode?!" moment and temporarily switched allegiance to 107's again. Corrosion / wear aside the 108's just look more modern. More aesthetic. So I'll have to refurb them sooner but so what? Small price to pay. I've got a set of each at present and side to side the 107's do look a little dated now

Failing that there is no option for 224's. If you can afford (or hunt out a bargain) these supersede the 108's in terms of style. They also fit a lot better too.

I know it's not the same car, but here is a visual comparison (car positioning as similar as I could find!!)

Agree with you on the 224s, Kis - I didn't put them on because they'd have won by a landslide!!! I missed out an a well priced set due to my own stupidity and am kicking myself now! There's a set on here but they are £800 which is way out of my budget, considering the Zed is a 3rd car for summer use. It's fascinating to see the differing opinions of people, and good to see others have had the same indecision. I love the look of the 108s, but they just deteriorate so fast.
First world problems, eh?

I guess you're right about the 224's. So quite right to leave them out

It's only a matter of time before even 107, 224, etc will need refurbing too. You're going to have a mishap eventually

With 108's you're maybe biting the refurb bullet early, but it's an inevitability for everyone...

107 for corrosion resistance, 2 tone 108 are cool while in good condition, but either CSL or 224 are the best.

108's get them done, then take care of them.

107's are better than my old 103's

I did buy a set of 108's, but preferred the look of the 107 so sold the 108's
