Claire doesnt want the 5 spokes on the "new" S so it looks as though they will be sold. I'll stick 'em on ebay later but bit gutted really, as I really like them, even though they need refurbishing

At least the small mountain of wheels in your garage is diminishing Phil.

thats true

just in time for delivery of a new set of black alloys I ordered a few months back

at least the new ones are boxed - it makes them easier to stack

funnily enough, Claire wants some 18's on the Audi but thats not what these are for. No new car until the Chim is sold, but these wheels came along at the right price for something else mate, and you know I cant resist a bargain

will see what develops but suffice to say the Chim must go first.

Obviously know what you are after to be confident to buy wheels that might otherwise have the wrong pcd and offset .

Schnozz - I am very interested, and will stick a bid in I guess - but would like to know if they are 15s (would like to be able to straight swap my tyres, you see, being a cheapskate). Look like they need refurbing (nice kerb marks, mate ), but I assume they are all straight.

You know my e-mail. Am still asking people if they want your Chim, btw. Is it now sold?

Hi mate, chim is still for sale

www.pistonheads.com/sales/detail.asp?i=34127&s=1

The wheels are 15's and the SO's on the S now are nicked off those wheels so I know the tyres will fit ok. They do need a refurb mate (as the ebay ad says if you'd read it properly too much time playing with scatter cushions rather than reading ebay closely)

AFAIK mate they are straight. They havent been on the S since Claire and I hooked up but they were used on the track before and never heard of any probs and the previous owner of the car was M@H. Kerb marks?? well, its Claire's car In all seriousness though, the kerbing is minimal, its more the surface that has come away as seems to happen to all S wheels for some reason.

Busted.

Will sort out spare funds and if solvent stick a bid in in a few days' time (ski holiday has eaten my money, and I spend like a drunken sailor in port for the night )
