if i treated my car to a set of 17's would anyone be interested in my standard wheels?
they are the later type( see link to my pics below ) and have very good RE71's all round.
they are in very good condition.
what are they worth folks?

cheers

( i'm thinking of keeping the 6 for a while so forgetting the soarer for now! )

They are the earlier 15" wheels... see Ken's Sick 6 wheels 16" later type..

yes they are 15's but they are not the early " flat " type they are somewhere in the middle i suppose!

**Kimbelle** · 5-13-04, 9:25

they look the same as my old ones, but nicer !

Possibly, what sort of price are we talking about?

They are Dead Expensive to buy new, but to be honest I hated them and glad to get my new ones on, I have kept them for Track use. So I dont know how much you would get for them. Was there not a set on her for £50.00??????

They tend to fetch £50 - £100 and people basically buy them for the tyres.

At the end of the day - If your buying new whells you usually want to upgrade ( like your planning ) so demand is usually very low - hence the price.

Youd do better to store them and put them back on when you sell it and sell your uprated wheels separatley - Theyll be alot more interest int eh uprated ones .....

i've been having that exact same thought myself g-force!!

went to halfords today to order my wheels and just could not bring myself to part with £800 even though i know they will make the car look soooo much better

i think i will look around for some second hand ones ( shame i didnt buy those ones off cornish )

I got mines second hand and need refurbed, but I still got a bargain and made the car look soo much better

check your pm's pete

Hehe - Wolfs responce reminds me - You think the standard MX6 rims are rough - Take a peek at the 626 Rims there even worse !

what ever

Cheers Gareth....... Mate !

mind you, I have to agree... I know Wolfie likes em, but each to his own taste, and i dont knock him for that one bit.

I would like something bigger and better, but money and getie are the biggest drawbacks..

It's not like when the suspension was a tad soft.. (I said it was knackered) Sh had to give in...
If I was to kerb it so hard, that the wheel broke, (std wheels are so tough, the wishbone would snap first) It would be no use at all... I have 6 of the buggers, so spares take care of it

I need to damage at least 3 of em, and be able to afford to buy the new ones... 'tis life I s'pose..

I should have used a bit more persuasion over mike's 17", but no use crying over spilt alloys...

Just to clear this up, the wheels are the later style of 15" rims, I have them on mine thanks to 666 (Ben)...

I paid £150 for them, but they are in excellent condition and had good tyres (and i needed 4 tyres anyway so saved some money)

Personally I really like this style of wheel, allbeit a bit small, and they are not that common either, outside of club meets I have never seen them on another car while out and about. Especially with the wings badge centre caps...

I'll say it one more time. Pete, if you are selling your wheels, I'm interested.
