I stuck them on ebay and got no bids but plenty of watchers, and now on PH classifieds. The only mail I have had is from Bell Hill who no doubt will give me peanuts and sell them for a fortune (having had experience of their prices in the past )

Now I really want them out of the way as another set of wheels are due at the Shnozz residence in the next few weeks and frankly I dont want the garage packed with crap. Plus the cash would be good as work on the S is proceeding at a rather swift pace now so cashflow is also diminishing at the swift pace...

Am I being unrealistic with the price? I thought £200 seemed reasonable, even though they need a refurb. I have never seen these wheels on another and think they are rather nice myself (if it wasnt Claire's motor I would have had these refurbed and on the S in anthracite, but thats another story). I see some OZ 8 spokes are for sale at £800 (albeit refurbed) but at half that price (allowing a generous £50 per wheel for a refurb) I thought these would be gone???

I think the price is spot on actually mate... I just don't have a need for S wheels any more...

Phil i was watching on ebay, but i found a set of Estorils which i couldn't turn down.At the mo im in the same boat as you as i now have a set of 8 spokes,a set of chim wheels and a set of Estorils.

The price looks about right maybe £150-200,but then i reackoned Bugsy's were worth £100 but they didn't make that

How much would you sell two eight spokes for if you are thinking of selling them that is ?

you could probably get a bloody good price for them if you sell them individually - since they are rare as rocking horse shite if you find someone that has bent 1 wheel and is facing having to buy a different set of 4, 1 wheel is probably worth £200...

blimey, thats a bargain. They are nice wheels too - what is the quality like?

I would have been inclined to keep that to myself, otherwise your unique S wheels may become not so unique...

I got them from a dealer via ebay.
I purchased without tyres, he still has a set with budget tyres for sale.

I ordered tyres from MYTYRES and there still in Germany

I only opened one for a quick look and they look good.
