Might need price reduced slightly?
I know with the rubbe rthey are worth it, but in todays world im not sure they will sell for that price

Out of interest, would you sell wheels only without tyres, and if so.... how much for?

thanks

IMHO I have to disagree...I think that's an absolute bargain...the tyres wil cost you over £1000 on their own. A refurb of those wheels to diamond cut would also cost nearly £400, and those are unused.

£2k all in is fantastic value. Almost tempted to get them myself, but I already have a set

I agree Zip.

Lepsons charge £110 per wheel to refurb - diamond cut.
Michelin Pilot Sport £260 each.

Then there's the cost of the wheel blah, blah, blah.

I've just forked out for two wheel refurbs and two new tyres on 8.5 rims.

I did email the seller via tyresmoke the week before last, but he never came back to me. I had to repair mine as a result, otherwise I would have bought them.

Those wheels are a bargain!

[E.L.M.O]

irrelevant how much of a bargain they are if he cant sell them!
They have been for sale for a while

Like I said I KNOW THEY ARE WORTH IT (use caps this time, it might get read)

£260 per tyre. You must be shopping around with your eyes closed even if they are Michelin.
I pay £62.00 per wheel for refurb, No diamond cut mind you, but this price comes down if I have more than one done.
This is a proper refurb, shot blast, acid and then multi coatings applied.

I must agree that 20's on low profiles may look great, but they are far too much hassle. They compromise ride quality and suffer from every pot hole or kerb.

I've knackered 3 and my wife 1, in just 6 months.
I can't remember wrecking an alloy in years of driving on them prior to the arrival of these effing 20's

Interesting, not had a single problem on my 285/30/20s in 20,000 miles... Not even a puncture, roads must be rougher where you are Nick, looking forward to seeing your car again on Saturday

I've paid £65 for a refurb too, but not by Lepsons. They are the only company I trust to touch my alloys -even at £110 per wheel diamond cut. Better than OEM finish too

No mate, I used my eyes This was the best I could find in such short notice. I tried over 10 retailers too.

Its not so much the roads as the kerbs. Down to my sloppy driving I guess, but with very little sidewall, there's no forgiveness

Yep Amar, I too am looking forward to getting together Saturday. Its been a pretty tough winter and this trip to Bens seems like the automotive equivalent of snowdrops and crocus and catkins on the trees
Hows that for poetic.

Please guys don't look to closely at my motor. Its got a winters worth of crud in it. And every time I've had the time to clean it up 1ts been..
a/ Raining
b/ f f f f freezing
c/ Hungover (me, not the motor)

Apologies for coming on a bit strong. I guess I have the benefit of a friendly local outfit. Used em for years. They've got low overheads and handle a lot of tyre business all over the Midlands.
Only had two possible tyres to fit mine. Yokahoma (Original fit) or Bridgestones, so there's plenty of room to screw me, but the (Bridgestones|) came in at only a little over £200 each.

Someone mentioned the other day about liking to do his own nuts up (snigger) with the wrench in the tool kit.
A good idea , but I prefer to see them done by someone wielding a big torque wrench. Plus I want to know they have tightened the studs in the correct order, every other one round and round the wheel, until they are all tight

Saturday. When the hell can I clean the car between now and then
