Default Carbon Fibre wheels

Decided to sell my wheels.

They are 18" UNIK Carbon Concepts with good tyres. They are very rare and as far as i believe not available in the UK anymore in 18". Only a few sets (3) were imported by Unique Automotive. They are real carbon fibre.

On their website they are selling 17" wheels without tyres for £1150.

I'm looking for £750 ono and i will have the lip re-polished. Wheels are all in perfect condition, no dunts, buckles etc.

see: www.uniqueautomotive.com

Yeah they are pretty rare! Look great but just not my cup of tea or the look i'm aiming for.

Will take a cheap set in PX as i need to wait for my new wheels to come.

Without wishing to rain on your Parade Paul, they are only a Carbon cover over ally Wheels. No real weight saving however they do look quite good. I tried a set on mine but went a different direction. Good luck with the Sale as said they are quite rare

They are no simply carbon covers stuck over the spokes, yes there is a basic spoke behind them. The facing is real carbon fibre.

They are 5x100. But there are 5 other holes so guess they will fit others too. Not sure of offset, my car is a 1997 Uk turbo2000 if that helps! If you wanna try them on thats not a prob.

Tyres are all very good, only a few months old. Slight wear on the outer edge of the n/s tyres (damn those roundabouts on the way to work! )

My mate has the wheels you have, lovely wheels but not what i'm lookin for. How much do you want for them as another mate is lookin for a set?
