Looking for a set of OEM 108 rims, prefer local pick up (I'm in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and will travel a reasonable distance to collect). If you've upgraded let me know what you've got.

cheers,

good luck man, these rims are pretty hard to find... i looked for a year and eventually gave up and settled on aftermarkets.

Thanks for the good thoughts, never hurts to ask if anyone has swapped out their OEM's. I thought these would be an easy way to ensure proper fit versus aftermarket.

why would you question aftermarket? as long as you confirm bolt pattern, width and offset you should be able to determine if it fits or not.

i remember alot of uk guys trying to unload their 108s but the shipping cost alone killed the deal. u'll find single wheels one bay, but rarely any sets. last full set i saw on classifieds was for a damaged set with bends/rash...

just watch out, i think i read somewhere that the 108s have issues with their clearcoat coming off.

Thanks for the info. The main issues I'm worried about is that the car is lowed which will affect clearances for fitments. The best advice I've been given is to put the car on axle stands (so the suspension is still loaded), remove all 4 wheels, and start measuring to determine clearance. Then use that information for fitting. As the offsets of the OEM rims are 47 front / 50 rear and there are very few aftermarket rims with such offsets (most are 40) I want to ensure what ever I buy will fit and I won't end up with rubbing issues. This WTB post was just a check before I get around to the process above.
