The 108's are a nice wheel on an e85 pre face lift due to the smoother front bumper and round spots, more in keeping with the style as the wheel has some lovely curves in the design. IMHO they just don't match the angular shape of the facelift, they're in conflict with the more muscular shape, angles not curves per se.

Never thought about it that way, biut you are right as I don't think the 107 works as well on facelift compared to pre-facelift either.

Hoorah!!! New alloys fitted!
Yes, I know the CSL has been done time and time again, but they just look iconic on a Z4. They’re reps, I’m not minted, the details are below.
8.5 x 19 et40
9.5 x 19 et35
235/35/19 and 265/35/19 tyres, Toyo Proxy front and rear.
I’ve not drive it yet as time is at a premium, but I will review them soon!!!
Very excited.

They look great! Quick question re. the rear though: aren’t they 265/30/19 instead of 35? Comparing to the front the rears look very similar in height

Thanks
