As title, got 4 x 18" neptune alloys (silver) - all boxed up and ready to go off my Octavia vRS

These came on the car but I had another set ready to go straight on in their place, car was picked up today so as soon as I got home, I got the new set in the boot and nipped down to the tyre place to get them changed over.

Now, i've only done 75 miles on them (the 60 minute journey back from the dealership), and got home to find that one of them has a chip on it. To say i'm gutted / destroyed / ****ed off is an understatement - especially as they will acuse me of doing it when I will guarantee you it wasn't (wanted to sell these 'as new' to recoup some of my money - fat chance now!)

So these from the dealer are £250 each. (£1000) With a 10% discount that some dealers offer, lets call them £900's worth of alloy.

A quick google reveals getting the one alloy refurbed will cost around £50, but again, I don't want to mess people around so lets say to be safe it will cost you £75.

So we, have £825's worth of alloy wheel.

I don't want to mess around and need rid of these ASAP - as new, I was going to sell for £600. That's been scuppered, so £475 + courier.

They are all nicely boxed up (bubble wrapped and individually boxed etc) ready to go.

Failing that, if you're local to these places - Stoke / Warrington / Nottingham, i'll drop them off for free (and you can oggle my new alloys i've had then lol)

If you think the price is bull, just say, i'm open to offers but at half price, i'd say its quite reasonable!

Piccies of the damaged alloy to follow. Others are all fine but I will happily take pictures if you wish.

Cheers!

edit - if I get enough interest to split the deal between a few people, then i'd do them for £145 each + courier - the damaged one i'd do for £85 + courier - i'd need a few people to commit though... buy more than one and i'll try to do you a bit more of a deal

Here is the picture of the one damaged alloy - other 3 are fine but will take pictures if you wish (though have boxed them all up! *grrr* haha)

wish I had the money :(

Lets have a look at the new wheels then!

Mk1 octys are 5x100 bolt pattern, Mk2 octy are 5x112. Could make them fit with adapters

Cheers Raf. Didn't realise that so thanks for pointing out

but they'll look so lovely

Thought about splitting them and selling seperate?

Thought about splitting them and selling seperate?

i probably would if I got a bit of interest in seperates... don't want to sell just 1 though and be left with 3 as i'm not sure DelBoy Trotter visits this forum much

IF people are interested in buying seperately, then I'd do them for £145 each + courier - the damaged one i'd do for £85 + courier - i'd need a few people to commit though...

Don't suppose you fancy a swop, 4 x 16' wheels fitted with 205/55/16 kleber (made by michelin) winter tyres that have done less than a thousand miles, alloys are spotless, the wheels cost me £200 and the tyres £400. (Click on Kleber in my sig)

Ideal winter wheels for your Motor

Where are you located, could deliver meet half way

thanks for the interest Auric - whilst i'm open to the idea of trades, I don't have much use for them (though i'm based North Staffordshire for future reference)

cheers
