Default Bug Eye alloys?

Hey guys just wondering if you could tell me how much a set of bug eye alloys are worth with 4 brillian tyres on??

there 5 spoke but each spoke has a gap so in theory there 10 spoke.

In dark gold.


regards Trell

I got less than a £100 for mine, but it depends upon the make of the tyre, as they are probably worth more than the second hand wheels.

Also they usually are silver or anthracite so depends on how well they've been done when painted gold!

Do a search and you'll find that you can space out the WRX alloys to clear the brembos. They need about 5mm iirc, but someone on here can probably confirm

You might be surprised. 5mm isn't that much, and it may be cheaper to replace the studs than to buy new wheels
