You mean 18s ?
Id say that was about the most expensive we have seen on here & £400 is more the norm
In fact for £550 id want the wheels included :wink:
Id also pay particular attention to the wheel leaking air before you go ahead as it may be the cause & not the tyre :?
 
If it's the 108 style you mean

My local wheel refurb centre quoted me

For all wheels to be spilt properly and rebuilt . .

£360 for Both parts powder coated different shades of silver to give the lip the " polished alloy" look

Or £480 lips diamond polished and lacquered and centres powder coated

I'd advise against diamond polishing and lacquering because in approx 12 months they will repeal/ oxidise and you'll be in the same boat again
 
Maybe i should have included a "buy back " clause :oops:

Yep sorry my mistake 18s 550 was a cash price was also quoted 150 a wheel plus the vat by another company. The front tyre that keeps going down is old and deteriorated on the wall the 3 others are fairly new as the car only has 30k on the clock I'd say it's the original one. Cost of a refurb I can buy a new set?
 
Worth reaching out to these guys?

I have had an online price for mine but need to contact them as it was for standards 17's, around 340 pounds I have 19's and not split rims so expect that to go up.

I also had a good price from a company inRuislip, near me 330 pounds off the car for the 19's but they want you wheels for 4 days.. I use it daily so it's taking some planning to meet that requirement.. The link above is same day service!

Worth travelling a but possibly?

It's 200 just for splitting them are they easy to do yourself do you have to change the bolts?

I just split a set. Had 2 out of the 80 bolts (20 bolts per wheel, 4 wheels) fail on me which then required the head drilling. Was easy enough in my opinion but i guess this varies with sets.
