The reason I ask is because I’m after a new set of wheels/tyres and would love some R107’s. I’m just a little concerned about how long they'll last in as new condition as possible. Are they prone to bubble/rust/discolour/etc?

Thanks

yes yes yes and yes. Do a search on Gp wheels and R105's ( the same finish) and you'll question will be answered. A very common topic.

they are a different finish to the r105, the r105 have a shiny lacquer that causes the problem. I havent heard of any problems on the GP wheels like the r105's.
