I might have a set of 108's for sale .............. just swapped my 2.0lt 4 pot for an M series and Im pretty certain the offset is different.
They've got black rubbery things around them, original RFT's and one rear has a plug in it ..... all are more than 4 mm, but then Im not selling the rubber, you get that for free.
Im in central belt scotland and will not be getting off my arse posting them, if you want them ..... you are going to have to pick them up :D (I drove 500 miles round trip to buy 'em) ..... If nobody is interested, no worries, I like looking at them in my shed.

Id never describe anything I have as mint, but these are well nice with no dings .............

Anyone interested let me know ...... Im thinking 350 the lot ..... but like I said, I need to find out if they defo will not go on the M.

Different offset on M as you say - havnt seen any non m wheels on an m and imagine it's a clearance issue on the brake discs / calipers - as the offset is smaller then they might even rub the arches when turning.

Would recommend selling those and plodding the cash.
 
P.S. (can't sleep tonight!) your tyres are also different profile so running the 108s on the m will make speedo incorrect - plus the 108s are rfts which isnt standard for the m which might upset your insurance if nothing else - plus the rears are narrower than the m - so all in all you shouldn't do it IMO!
 
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm just read on another thread that M's run on higher profile tyres

these are 225x40x18 fronts and 255x35x18 rears .....
been on Kwik fits tyre fitting guide, put in the Ms reg number and it came up with the same sizes ...... will have to double check when I pick up the Zed.

Pretty sure they wont fit my M anyway ........... so they will be going one way or another :D
 
cash must be well short ............ :D
I remember the days that 108's flew off the shelf ............ :cry:

I looking around for coffee table designs right now based on ........... 108's 8) all ideas welcome
 
Hi, are these still for sale?

Also would you consider selling without the tyres?

Must... resist... the... urge...

I originally wanted a set of Ellipsoids but am now pondering whether a set of 108s would look better on my Toledo Blue or not, if only I could find a picture...
 
Struggling with this one, a lot!

OP - Do you have any close up pics of all the individual alloys (well, the driver's side anyway)? Is there any corrosion on them? I assume by the no dings bit that they're all totally round? :)
 
Well dont struggle too much .............. :D cant bear to see a man in pain.

They are pretty much perfect - but Im not trying to "flog" them .... if whoever buys them isnt happy, they can have their money back.
Could be out of luck though - I hear that its quite ok to run these with wheel spacers on the M ...............
If thats so, Ill be keeping 'em
 
Well thats that sorted then .................. as there's zero interest, and I hear tell that all I need is some spacers....... I shall keep these well mint 108's, dress them with some new tyres and plop them on my fresh red M series ............ :D
 
imo as beautiful as the 108's are they are not the most robust lol, and are probably heavier then the M wheels.
 
unsprung weight ......... :rofl:
you's talking to a motorcycle racer here ............... :D

like the few grams is going to make much difference when there's huge cast iron calipers hanging there........
and like Im ever going to notice the difference on a road ............

but you may be right about the looks, the M wheels look pretty cool .....
