224,s would enhance your car but may take away from its stock / concurs appearance ?
108,s , gen MV2,s or the ones you have now suit just fine IMO , going too far over the mark could ruin your car,s originality ?

Wow that is a nice clean zed

108s are the best rims for a roadster IMO, but don't settle for standard, go custom finish

Failing that, VMRs.... (as per richardg from the forum, cracking wheels, and a tastefully modded zed too)

Ellipsoids and 108s both suit the roadster perfectly imo. :thumbsup:

107 the best for the pre-facelift cars without a doubt. Would not change then.

Given it's a 3.0 and you say 'concours then I concur with those who suggest ellipsoids or 108's. These were the top OEM wheels for the Zed.

I've had both and the 108's always look amazing.

If you want to keep it concours then 108's are your only true option.

I love 108's but have to agree with PVR, why change?
