Lightbulb 4 new Gold STi 7/8 wheels, boxed up ready to go

Local sale preferred, as courier costs will be high, and a bit of hassle etc. Can deliver within an hour's drive of Aberdeen.

Open to offers by e-mail please.

Cheers

Another option if anyone is interested:

I can fit the new wheels to my own car, and sell my existing wheels currently on the car (no dents, kerb marks or scratches, but lots of brake dust ).

Ideal if anyone is looking for a set of wheels for track use, or is looking for a set to spray/powder coat a different colour. It would save me the hassle of cleaning up my existing ones, if and when I find the time

I can also arrange to get the wheels blasted/sprayed/powder coated to a colour of your choice if you are interested for about an extra £30/wheel.

Mark,

both sets of wheels are identical STi 7/8/9 wheels in gold, apart from some () brake dust. I bought the second set to put a new set of tyres on, and keep my existing wheels and tyres for track use, but 9 months later, the new ones are still sitting boxed up in the garage, and the existing wheels and tyres are still on my car. With a house move on the cards in the next couple of months, I now need the space.

If someone is prepared to spend a bit of time (I've not had any in the past 9 months!) cleaning up the existing wheels using wheel cleaner and some elbow grease (no scratches, or kerb marks, but I'm guessing there might be the odd small stone chip), would probably take an hour or so per wheel, then they could have a bit of a bargain. If someone was looking for a set of these wheels to colour code for example, then the existing ones would be ideal, as they would just need to be stripped, painted and lacquered - no repairs required. I was thinking of getting them done in an anthracite/P1 colour for track use, as you won't see the brake dust so easily.

I paid £450 for the new wheels boxed up without the tyres (probably a bit over the odds given that you can get sets with tyres for about £600) including courier charges, but I'm open to offers.

If you wanted the existing (dirty) ones - then I'd sell them locally for about £270 - not a bad price given that an identical replacement wheel from a dealer will cost you £300 (and that's each!).
