RED WEDGE ON GUNTREE,

[superwedge]

this looks nice,5000 pounds,

[Automax]

That's mine and it's not for sale. I bought it last August. These are the same pictures from the original ebay add. This is a false listing. Can someone do me a favour and contact the 'seller' to see what's going on before I go round to see him and go off on one (his office only a mile or so from home) just in case it's an innocent mistake.

Thanks

maybe you should contact gumtree, and put them in the pic about this, man must be lanker doing this,

[stevoj]

Might be same pics but is it same ad? could one of them scams! not sure how they work mind you.

[Automax]

Just been checking their complaints list.

Just drifting the thread a touch, what do you guys think about the wheels? I'm just about to change them for some BBS lattice with covered nuts.

I never saw the gumtree ad but it is the same as the ebay ad.

Personally I don't like the current ones. More than happy with the original alloys and looks. Just my opinion though.

I think they just about look ok but they're not right which is why I've got a set of BBS lattice. I would still prefer a set of original lattice wheels that match the spare in the boot.

This happened when my 280i got sold the second time...Initially it was bought from carsandclassic but after a week i saw it come up for sale again on Ebay so i contacted the new owner who still had the car?...Could of been a scam as they were asking for a deposit...


As for the wheels...Not keen on the ones on it at the mo...There are not that many wheels that really suit the Wedge in my personal opinion..Oz and lattice alloys look good...There are options...You could call Douglas valley breakers to see if they have any...They can be a bit on the expensive side though..There are lattice Compomotive wheels available..I believe they were the original makers of the Wedge alloys....I found one on plumtree but its a 14" for the 280i....

Five spokes wheels are pretty much 'in keeping' for the Wedge as the infamous OZ split-rims were 5-spokes... but they were thick spokes which help, as the rear suspension looks odd when you can't see brake discs behind the wheels!
Those there ^^^ look too modern IMHO, the curvy flarey bits don't work. Slabby, squarer 5-spokes are better.

[barrington]

these are what I have on my wedge not original but needed to clear big brakes

BBS now fitted, so much better than those 5 spokes it came with.
