right, these are something pretty unusual- id go as far as saying they're unique outside south america. they're even rare in brazil, as they only came fitted to one obscure model, called a shanty or something so bizarre i cant remember.    they're a set of VW made steels. 15x6, et38, 4x100. as you can see they're quite an unusual design, in that they're totally smooth with no holes(except a small cutout for the valve and a balance hole opposite it) these would look absolutely killer with the right/bolts/caps tyre choice- say 165/50 on a mk1 golf or polo  they are set of 4, are brand new, have never had tyres fitted, and are obviously perfect condition. i was going to band them to about 8-9" and stretch some tyres on em for ultimate coolness, but plans have changed. i can pretty much guarentee youll never see another car running a set of these in this county! £85 the set. can courier the set for £20 |

Nice one Dez,
A cool and original set of wheels that someone on E38 would be asking £23,583,256.99 for.....and probably get their asking price too!!
Nice to see decent honest people selling stuff at rates us mere mortals can afford. As Bryn says, all credit to you. ;D

It certainly looks that way, and to think the post below was about the same wheels. Nice one Dez, A cool and original set of wheels that someone on E38 would be asking £23,583,256.99 for.....and probably get their asking price too!!

Correct. If you want a slanging match over it I'm cool with that, but I will outline a few clear points to you first -
I paid the asking price.
Dez could have charged much more, that was his choice and in his own words he was happy with the little bit that he made on them.
I knew scene tax could have been added to them.
I expected to be knocked down in price.
What I put them up for is my business.
What they sold for is my business.
I just lost in excess of £2k for work that was never done to my vehicle, not to mention the state of my vehicle when it was finally recovered or the parts that had been taken from it in the process - never to be seen again. That money is something that I will never get back so turning a quick profit on something like this is something I can live with.
If you think they are THAT expensive then try getting a set - youll find that to be problematic at best and if you can then well done. What I sold them for wouldnt get a set from the dealers.

LMFAO yeah. I should have just sat back and let them go by, what was I thinking? How dare I make a little bit of quick cash - after all, no one else on here does it, do they.........  The little I made on that is very handy - if not overly significant. It will buy parts to get a £140 car on the road with a view to eventually fitting the engine that I have had built - originally for the caddy. The 800 Euro adapter set up that I just sold for £250...yeah thats criminal. What a bad sport. |
