My car currently has these style wheels with run flat tyres on them. I don't particularly like the ride and they are very noisy.

I'm thinking I would like to replace these with some staggered BBS split rim alloys like these below. Any constructive comments welcome.

The car is Sterling Grey.

I prefer the wheel type you have Tony, not enough spokes for me personally. That said, I do like the black.

Fair comment Andy, thank you. The BBS are much easier to keep clean, that's one of my main criteria to be honest.

On the same page there Tony, mine are a pain to keep clean.

Those 108's look nice, can't think why
They're not the worst looking wheels Gaz that's for sure, but I do like a staggered set up and these aren't.:)

WTF is grumpy doing on your aerial
I thought stuffing my aerial up Grumpy's jacksy might cheer him up a bit (good spot by the way). Give me some radical ideas on the wheels mate.:)

Classy wheels for a classy car Tony. These would look the business on your grey Z4 - Vossen CV3.

Thank you David, but I don't like all dark wheels. The modern fad with black wheels too does nothing for me. I like a bit of brightness in a wheel.

I like your standard wheels Tony. They look ok and with nice big surfaces, they should be easy enough to keep clean.

I like the 108's but as you say a high silver or maybe an anthercite colour.
I looked at the Ellipsoid alloys Brian likes for the 3, two styles in them the difference subtle but seen if you look, more of a spoke angle giving each fan a dish the other much flatter.
Wheels are really a personal touch and the ones fitted are nice but if not quite your liking i understand the need for a change ....
Looking forward to seeing your choice !
