Default Testing the water, my wheels may be for sale!

Hi all,

As titled, i may be selling my wheels and was wondering if there would be any interest in buying them.

Those that know me, know that i keep my car and everything on it in mint condition so it goes without saying, the wheels have no kurb marks and other than a few light scratches, possibly from cleaning, that cant really be noticed, they are A1. Two tyres have at least 4k left in them and two need replacing. The wheels and tyres are 225/40/18 Falkens on Rota Formula Mesh rims. Revolution247 are currently selling these wheels for £750 IIRC, so i was thinking about £390 something like that.




What do you think??

Ian

Not sure what i will be going with yet to be honest mate. I have been toying with the idea of either these:
Rota - If you are looking for an Rota P1 18 x 7.5&quot Black with red lip Wheel & Tyre Package (Lightweight Series) click here Rota
Or going with the same wheels, but in gunmetal as i originaly wanted, but they were out of stock the first time around:
Revolution Performance Motorstore :: Alloy Wheels, Tyres, Auto Performance and Styling Parts

Opinions welcome

Ian I think you should stick with wheels you have or have them resprayed gun metal. I saw your car in the Ynys car park the other day on my from the gym and I was well impressed with them. They really do the car justice.

Yes I've had the RA-R a good while now. Recently had a front mount and few other bits fitted. It made 353bhp with the standard exhaust still in place on Powerstations rollers.

You're always welcome to pop up the house for a gander.
