Default Gauging interest 20" alloys

I'm so fed up with the roads around here, that I'm thinking of downsizing to 18s.

I have 4 x refurbished and perfect diamond cut 20" 8.5j alloys with 4 x Michelin Pilot sport tyres. 2 tyres are brand new, and the other 2 have covered 2k miles since they were fitted in June last year. All straight and run true.



What are they worth?

TIA.

Is it the ride your fed up with? The 20s are smoother then the 18s IMO. I'd say your wheels are worth about £1,500 if immaculate with Michelin Pilots. But don't sell them and if you do sell them to Darren.

Well, Darren is wore than welcome to contact me

Not the ride that's the problem, it's the lack of sidewall on these. Ideally I would go for some 18s for the winter as well, or until they fix the bloody roads around here, but finances don't allow for that.

So I'm looking to get some 18s and cheaper tyres full stop, and sell the 20s.

I have to claim back from the council over £1200 for the repairs, and this is not the first time it has happened to me. Wy wife's car has also come a cropper on our roads this last month.

I'm sick of it to be honest.

Why should I be afraid to drive my fully insured and taxed car because the roads are so ****e?

i wish i had a crystal ball. i would have loved to have your 20" wheels but as we speak my car is in having some bodywork done and my 18" avus wheels are being refurbed. in the last week i have spent over two grand on my car getting it in good condition for this year. will need to have a look and see if i have any money left when my car is done and maybe we could do a deal. are you coming to revo-technik on saturday ?

Afraid not mate, it's a little out of my way just for a quick coffee. I'll probably go to the next one if Ben does another though - just not possible for me this month.
