108 refurb

[Sharpy1975]

Hey all.....

Would like to get My 108s refurbished, I know this can be a real pain. Anyone know of any places around the midland area? or what I can be expecting to pay.

Thanks muchy.

Expect wildly different quotes, a lot of places peg the price so high it really seems they don't want the work.

I used http://www.wheelrefurbishing.co.uk/ and was very pleased with their work. 3 years ago I think I only paid about £ 380 for silver centres and chrome outers.

But I had had quotes for 5-600.

I found 100 a wheel and upwards, plus any new bolts required, One place in Coventry want 900 quid!!! I’d used them before for non split wheels.

Find somewhere you can trust is the difficult bit. Just finished off my refurb, it takes time and detail, which costs if they can be bothered.

That seems a very good price. I have seen a pair for sale on this forum, same as mine. Might be worth buying those and then selling mine. I have pm'd the seller.

If not I'll give the below a bell, although a trek for me to get there.

I have a set....got quotes for refurbishing.
First place quoted £650, second place said they don't touch them.

It was just a tidy up I needed so I ended up getting them done without splitting them. They're currently piled in my garage gathering dust. Tried advertising but no real interest.

Mine are now in the same place yours were. They are fine but not perfect and I’m tempted to stick some money aside for replacements of a different style.

Mine are prefect condition. But I think what will end up happening is when it comes time for me to move my E86 on, I'll replace the tyres and put the 108s on and they'll go with the car. My 19s would then go onto the next car, if they fit, or be sold separately.
