For Sale Gumtree 108's

[Antm72]

Nice set and a fair price.

Stupid question time. Is it the same offset as for a Z3 on a Z4?

 

[Antm72]

You need to space them to fit a 3 they are staggered i think offsets are 47 and 50 on these a zed is 41 as standard.

 

[Low Rider]

They do look very nice

I've noticed a little kerbing but you would expect that.

 

[Redline]

Thats a steal at that price even with some lip damage.

So easy to maintain only having 5 spokes, I paid £160 for mine but they needed a full refurb, look great with a polished rim

That's the set that I bought via Ebay. Two of them had more curbing damage than I could discern from the photos though. I took one of the centres out today and one of the bolt heads was only held in by black mastic - bit naughty.

That is a bit naughty to say the least, I snapped 2 when doing mine and rounded one, the snapped one where easy to remove but the rounded one was a bloody pain in the ass,

 

[Steve Medlock]

How did you remove the snapped ones Sean?

How did you remove the snapped ones Sean?

Hot gun and mole grips as there was just enough to get hold of

 

[Steve Medlock]

Thanks I'll probably try that. I have a very poor history of extracting broken studs and bolts and never look forward to that job.

 

[Bazza]

How did you remove the snapped ones Sean?

Steve if you have trouble geting the stud out you could allways take it to an engineering company to have it sparked out and re-tapped?
should only charge you £35 (cash job)

Just had a minor panic when the last bolt in the wheel stripped out the spline. Just when I was about to drill the head off, I thought no and wacked the next size torx bit in with a club hammer and then carefully eased it until it broke free. Worth trying if that happens to anyone.

Wish I'd tried that, they are titanium and mine was a bloody nightmare to drill, also took a lump hammer to split a couple of them once the bolts where out

The more I read about this the more I think I'll try removing, cleaning and refitting each bolt while the rims are on the car. At least then you have something "solid" to work with which might aid in loosening the bolts. The "Turbines" and runflats might end up going back on then till I can afford a proper re-furb.

Tony.

ps. Are they 8mm spline bolts please @Sean d ?
