18" Facelift vRS Neptune Alloy Wheels

Featured Replies

Im interested in the wheels and can meet you on the 29th at J11 Banbury. A couple of questions. Are they all straight and true with no flat spots? In the pictures they all look to have no real cub damage apart from picture 9. Is this the worst wheel? If they are straight and thats the worst wheel then i will definately have them on the 29th.

Cheers

Jon.

Hi Jon, Yes, that wheel is the worst one, if I remember correctly it came off the back of swmbo's car, hence the worn tyre and kerbing. All the wheels are true, the tyre wear on the worse one is due to the rear camber setting on the car incorrectly set from the factory. I bought them with a view to refurbing them and a change of colour change then swapping them onto swmbo's car but have never got round to it and she's not that bothered as she says she'll damage them anyway. As mentioned I did swap one because of the tyre wear hence that one being the worse one.

I'll now refurb the ones on the car before selling and move these ones on to free up some badly needed space. As offered, I would appreciate a small deposit if you are still interested, as someone else has expressed an interest via a PM. As mentioned in my original post "the first with the money gets the goods"

Happy to meet at J11, will be at approx 0830. The price is £250 and is not negotiable, especially by the roadside. If the wheels are not as described then I'll gladly return your deposit.

Apologies for going on a bit, just wanted to be open and transparent about it and if for any reason the sale falls through, this info may assist other potential purchasers.

Let me know if you are still interested and I'll pm you any details you require.

With thanks

Mike

Hi Beefy,

Quick question(s):

1. Do you know if the neptunes will clear 245 s3 brakes? (ive got a feeling Neptunes dont but Zeniths do)

2. Whats the current price?

I need to get hold of some wheels to fit some winter tyres to and these could be an option especially if your going to be around Birmingham (its a hlaf way between me and you).

Many thanks

Answered via pm as below, missed the post above apologies

Hi Octimark, I don't know about the clearance issues, thats something you'll have to check out elsewhere on the forum. The price is £250 which is non-negoitiable.

Cheers

MIke

If it helps then hedge was running 345 brakes with neptunes I think. Send him a pm? I think you have to grind the caliper possibly?

Just to Clarify, I'm in Solihul from 10am to 3pm at one of the hospital sites, yet to be confirmed. Whilst I can pop out at an opportune moment during the day. I can't unfortunately extend my day. As I'm sure any interested parties would appreciate, a 5 hour meeting along with 6 hours travelling is long enough, for me anyhow.

Mike, ill definately take them. Please pm me your paypal address and ill send a deposit over.

Thanks for that info. I seemed to remember he had to grind a bit off the caliper. I'd rather not do that so in words of the dragons "i'm out" but looks like Mike still has a sale anyway so all ends well.

Anyone got any 18" winter wheels and tyres they can loan me for an impulsive trip to Czech begining of Feb? :giggle:

Try the wanted section, you never know your luck. :)

btw the wheels are provisionally sold to Jon177.

Yes the bottom part of the caliper needed a bit of a trim but there's plenty of meat in that area.

18" Zeniths clear the brakes no problem. :thumbup:

Thanks Hedge

Beefy I already have a post in the wanted section :giggle:
