Photo's to be attached (currently dirty; still on car - until 23/01/15)

 

Specification:

 

- 18 x 7.5 ET51

 

- 4 Goodyear Eagle F1's - done about 600 miles.

 

- Tyres are 235/40/18 - Not the standard size fitted; they were put on after an operation to 'soften' the ride on my car temporarily (cheaper than putting standard springs on). 

 

- New centre caps (older style - green badge).

 

Condition:

 

- Refurbished in gloss black by The Wheel Specialist - Full tyre off refurbishment and powder coated.

 

- No kerb marks at all.

 

- One spoke has a small stone chip; appears a stone has flicked up and hit the spoke. Only noticed when cleaning wheels - can attach picture.

 

- Recent hunter alignment: All wheels straight; no buckles.

 

Reason for Sale:

 

- New set of Audi wheels on their way.

 

Price:

 

£475

Should add I'd rather not send these due to weight and risk of damage.

I am heading to Manchester soon (end of January) so could arrange to travel with wheels along that route if people want to meet up.

pics yet ?

Hi mate,

 

I've had a few PM's on this - probably a good idea to update.

 

The wheels are off the car Tuesday night. I'll clean them up on Wednesday and get inside and front face photos taken and posted.

 

Stu

May I suggest you get the tyres removed..Wrong size for Ocatvia and Superb

Youll easily sell them without the Tyres

 

The tyres will fit a Passat R36 BTW

Surely 10mm wider won't affect things?

 

Ive run wider tyres in the past anyway, without any problems

Only going on what Skoda recommends Damo

Thought it might help the sale too

They should be fine for an Octavia, the difference in size is 1.26%, the recommended difference should't exceed 2.5%

Put the 2 sizes in and see for your self

I might be interested in these but I wouldn't want the tyres really and would like to see photos. I'm in Huddersfield so not far away from your planned trip.

 

What price could you do them at without the tyres please?

 

Thanks,

 

Dan

Thank-you for all of the responses; I appreciate the advice.

 

The Neptunes are coming off this evening so will take home; clean and post pictures.

 

Regarding the price of the wheels...................I will need to check how much they are online; to get a guidance. I priced them cheaply with tyres as they were non-standard fitment. If it's just the wheels wanted I shall review the price and update.

 

Regards,

 

Stu

Would have had these off you Stu - but just about to move house;

and a spare set up alloys wasnt in the planned move really.

 

GLWTS 

For Winter wheels on the R36 or the Seat Steve?

I'd be interested to see pics of these as well. Cheers. 

UPDATE

 

Wheels are now off the car. They are covered in salt currently.

 

Unfortunately it was too dark and cold to clean and take photos; doubt I'll have any daylight hours now until Saturday morning. Please bear with me until Saturday 24th to get the promised photos up for everyone to see.

 

Mods - If this is too long to go without pictures; please feel free to remove thread and I can re-start a new one with the required photos on Saturday.

BTW I run 235/40/18 Audi 5 spoke for my winter set up and have no problems with the tyres. No clearance, catching or rubbing what so ever and my car is lowered.

Thank-you for the confirmation, it's good to hear someone else running the same set-up without any issues; my car is also lowered on Bilstein B8 dampers and -50mm H&R springs.

Should also mention my new wheels are 18 x 8 ET43! Opposed to the 18 x 7.5 ET51 Neptunes.

This means my new wheels sit out approximately 20mm more than the Neptunes did and there are no clearance issues with 225 tyres.

I also live in Preston so getting to Manchester shouldn't be a problem.

UPDATE - conversation with an interested party reminded me the tyres have now covered around 1000 miles.

This will no longer increase as wheels are off car.

UPDATE - How do I add pictures of one of the wheels (rest to follow tomorrow)? Ran out of time again. Although all 4 wheels look the same so gives you an idea.

Photos are on my phone.

Open 'Photobucket' and register

Then follow the instructions to upload, then copy the link and paste in your thread

Tapatalk is an easy way to get pics onto this forum from your phone. Will be other ways too as always.

Thank-you for the advice on how to upload; hopefully this works.

 

I have had one person confirm they will have these if the photo's show the wheels as described; I shall offer them first shout on the wheels. If they decline I shall update again.

 

The wheels will all be cleaned; polished (some wash marring present - no different to a cars paint) and sealed tomorrow with further photo's to show all four.

 

I have spotted an imperfection on the inside of the wheel when washing it today (the only wheel to have this on the inside). I have taken a photo up close of it. There is no corrosion and the paint is unbroken; suggesting it may be contamination under the paint. Again; hasn't affected the paint quality.

 

Thanks for being patient.

Is the bucket included in the sale?

As you can tell; my photography skills are rubbish ha-ha.
