Fair price for FL 18" Avus?

[Cornershop]

As above, still new to the S8 world so looking for an estimate of what i should expect to pay for a usable set of 4 18" Avus et48 wheels for my 2001 s8 - either needing refurb or refurbed - with centre caps?

Looking to get a spare set to refurb and then sell on my existing set.

I see a set on eBay requiring refurb for £390 - reasonable?

If anyone has any leads, pls PM me

Thanks

For that price I would expect very good condition without the need of refurb and to include centre caps. To buy set of new centre caps you are looking at another £100.

Do you happen to want PF versions? I will have a set of 5 PF Avus 18" available as of next week. With 4 centre caps.

Quite possibly HP if they are a straight fit onto FL cars? I believe the offset are the same

Do you have any pics you could send me - will PM you my email address

Cheers

Straight fit, I currently have them on the car as winter wheels. +++

Pictures somewhere online I think, but they are really grubby at present from winter. :tuttut:
They are coming off on Friday and will be washed and the tyres removed too (long story) so I'll post some better pictures over the weekend.

Two are nearly brand new, done maybe 5000 miles max (in summer 2014), and two are fairly worn, maybe down to about 4mm. Spare is fine too, probably about 5mm.

I'll view Andrews wheels once they're cleaned up

Still interested in opinions on values (thanks ainarssems for your input)

I think my wheels (or some of them anyway) actually came from Ainars. Not that it makes any difference to their value. :ROFL:

And we did a "trade" involving swapping several wheels in various conditions so no relevant price info either.

Also mine are PF which in "some" quarters (mostly A4/S4/RS4) these days actually seems to be more desirable for 18" Avus. ;)

[HPsauce]

Still interested in opinions on values (thanks ainarssems for your input)I haven't looked at FL Avus, but what little research I've done (looking ahead to selling mine) suggests PF are around £100 a wheel in "good" condition (minor kerbing or a few scrapes only visible close up) with perfectly fitting (no broken lugs) centre caps.

More for showroom condition freshly refurbished, less if damaged or bent and potentially needing straightening or other physical repair or missing centre caps.
But, as they say, everything is negotiable. :cool:

Tyres seem to make little price difference as usually they are part-worn or not a suitable brand/size/pattern/etc. and are just dead weight for shipping.

I managed to find a brand new original FL Avus 18" on ebay for £50, years ago when my old S8 was on its original wheels. Maybe that's the exception rather than the rule, but it is occasionally possible. I guess the guy only had the one wheel and couldn't get rid of it.
