Gems in the rough? hmm...

Post by Trehan_Silva_1997_ » Sat Feb 25, 2017 3:21 pm

Evening all!

Was hoping to get some of you gents to weigh in on this,

I've been hunting around for some ellipsoids for Zander and happened upon this ad on a Facebook bmw wheel sale page..
any thoughts on them? they look all right do they not? (apologies for the vague-ness of my question/statement)

What would be a reasonable price to pay? (I intend to buy some new tyres for them anyway mind you)
He lists $600 AUD but that he is quite open to negotiation hmm...


and yes those are the coveted pyramids of the ellipsoids peeking out from under the frame of a holden commodore :rofl: :| :?

These are slightly different to the normal elipsoids around the bolt holes, can't remember the number of them now :?

You could probably negotiate a bit off due to the scuffs/ curbing. Best wheels out there for the Zed though IMO (maybe a little biased as they're the wheels i have)

When they're clean they look pukka. :thumbsup:

mmm that was my thought too, keeping the scuffing, rash etc in mind

gotta agree though, I love the look! 8)
