Greg 01 said:Hi guys anyone have a set of 108,s for sale ?
N west area . Only looking for silver ones .
Cheers
Greg.
I have ones in mint condition (recently refurbed, some time last year by the previous owner) with 6mm of rubber on all 4 iirc from recent report (4/5/16) 3 days ago from inspection 2 at dealers.
I'm in Glasgow so not too far to drive from the North West to the real North
How much would you be willing to pay? Tyres alone would be worth £400ish as they aren't that old.
If you are prepared to pay good money for them I will post pics, they are mint.
no disrespect but a £400 valuation for a set of used tyres is pretty unrealistic

brand new ones are 7mm, these are 6mm. I think you can work out from that how used they are. What would be a fair price for them? £300 used?
what is a fair price for mint recently refurbed 108's? I can see ones on ebay that need a refurb are asking for £400+.
add both together with a small discount what would you say is a realistic price?

No one with half a brain would pay £400 for a set of 108s needing refurb
Tyres usually start with 8mm , once used only high end names would bring top money & even then between half & 3 quarters new price would be the norm
Ballpark figure on a used but mint set of 108s with decent tyres around £500/£550 give or take 10%

That's not much at all. Refurbing costs £300-£400 alone due to split rims.
If that's all they are worth then I'll likely just keep them. I would of sold for around £750
Greg 01 said:Hi sonny .
Thanks for the offer . I do get the impression you
Are looking for way over the market value for your
Wheels .
That said you are way to far away to make it practical ..
Thanks though .
Greg.

Your entitled to your opinion as is he.
How much are brand new 108's are they £550?
Who would pay more for second hand than what new costs? Asking more than retail for a brand new set for a used set is deluded.
Especially the guy selling the ones needing a refurb.
I've took the realistic valuation on the chin. However it looks like others didn't. It's not worth selling mint 108's with bridgestone runflats for £500. So i'm keeping them. Which is what I advised the guy trying to sell his ruined 224's to do.

A brand new set with no tyres is £400 per wheel and you want a full mint set plus tyres for that much? I have nearly new tyres on them which are at the very least worth £250. They have had a recent professional refurb done worth £300-£400. Then you have the fact they are in very good condition.
If you think £750 is too much then what I could propose is that I sell them to you minus the tyres for £550 and you sort out your own shipping/collection/tyres. Glasgow isn't that far away. I drove all the way down past Newcastle to get my roof motor relocated into the boot 350 mile round trip within 6 hours.

£265 for 108's on ebay (sold 16th of April which was less than a month ago) with rear tyres below marking indicators (illegal) and also in need of a refurb. So once you add in 2 rear tyres plus refurb onto £265 your looking at what? £765-£865? Forget the tyres and let's say it's £265 for them plus a decent refurb for say £350 meaning £615 for ones without rear tyres.
So I'm offering mine at market value. Feel free to disagree though but I've provided proof of what ones which need a refurb go for on ebay recently. I can even see people selling single alloys which need a refurb for £120 individually. Like I said I don't need to sell I'll keep them unless it's worth doing so but I don't think my asking price is over market value based on the above recently sold ebay set. In fact it's probably slightly under.
There's a couple of factors needing to be considered here. Whilst £750 may be a good deal, it is only a good deal to someone looking for mint alloys and the Bridgestone tyres.
If OP would be happy with some slightly scuffed alloys for £265 and is prepared to swap his own tyres over then it's not a good deal for him.
Plus, quite a few people on this forum advocate binning the Bridgestone RFTs and getting non RFTs which are a lot cheaper.
Basically, I'm trying, politely, to say that what is a good deal in your eyes, isn't necessarily a good deal to others. Don't get too defensive about it.
GLWTS though.
OP, I hope you find what you're looking for.

I don't need to sell so I'll likely keep them. If OP is looking for a scuffed set there is one on ebay for £400, could maybe send them a pm haggling them down.
@ OP , if you struggle to find what you want & fancy the idea of OEM BBS Split 18s with a modern twist :wink: i have the set of style 294s from my E89 ( better offsets for E85/E86 than 108s )
Have them up for sale as they are at £250 , or can have them refurbed (split , blasted , powdercoated ) £450 :wink:
