I have just purchased 4 x 18" wheels, so my 17s are now (or will be soon!) for sale.

2 have 5mm tread - one of these has a small kerb mark (about 1" long). 2 have about 2mm (I believe they are just about legal).

Once I have them off the car I shall clean them and post some pictures.

Anyone interested in purchasing them? I am happy to sell them indivually, so if you want a spare or replacement let me know.

Not sure how much yet. Make me an offer.

Jim.

Hello, yes - I bought the ebay ones.

Really not sure on price. I believe they are about £150 each without a tyre. The tyres are about £125 new. So working from there, lets say:

£60 each for the ones with 2mm of tread no scratches - SOLD
£80 for the 5mm tread with small scratch
£100 for the 5mm tread no scratch

Any thoughts - does this sound about right?

Well i knew i wasnt far off the mark. Deleted the item out of my watching folder :D so couldnt remeber exactly

The kerbed ones didnt look that bad tbh, although 2 needed new tyres also.

Good luck shifting them anyway :D

The 2 with low tread are, in principle, sold.

So this leaves:

£80 for the 5mm tread with small scratch
£100 for the 5mm tread no scratch

This one has 5mm of tread. The rim has a couple of marks and a light "circular scratch" in the middle - obviously caused by a clumsy tyre fitter - I had not noticed until I cleaned it. No kerb marks.

£100 or near offer. Can deliver to South Bucks or anywhere close to the M25.

He changed the advert to say something like "These are for sale else where" and they didn't like it and pulled them off!
