Wheels and tyres
Would anybody more knowledgable have an idea what my wheels which I believe are 201 style would be worth?
They are in lovely condition with no scrapes, but tyres although still lots of tread are only budget ones.
Many thanks,
Grant

Good choice. The last couple of good sets with decent tyres went for about £550 so manageable close to your budget!Phoenixboy wrote: ↑Sat Jan 13, 2018 3:12 pm So after a lot of trawling through old threads and pictures, I have decided I will keep an eye out for a nice set of 224 m originals with decent summer tyres on.then move my wheels on to recoup some of the cost.

Thanks greg81, yeh I think they would look good.
Just got to wait for the right set to come up, but no rush so no pressure.

The wheels do look great but I assume it's the tyre age putting him offmr wilks wrote: ↑Sun Jan 14, 2018 5:51 pmReally on a limited budget & wanting 224s ive seen a fair few sets pass through these pages & doubt you will better these for £600 ready to roll & a good few years left in them .Phoenixboy wrote: ↑Sun Jan 14, 2018 5:32 pmThanks for the offer Jameshan12, but am going to pass on those thanks.

They havent seen too much tarmac since CSL's were put on the car. No cracking or nasty weathering. Plenty of life for the average user to be had

It is indeed, based on recommended tyre life and rubber degradation.JamesHan12 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 14, 2018 6:58 pmIf thats what 'you' assume
I wouldn't waste time getting upset about some random person on the internet's opinion. Best of luck getting them sold!

" If your wants are to high for means to supply then alter your wants " was my grandma's advice op has mentioned a budget of £500 & a desire for a set of 224s if sets of 224s are being sold in good condition with fresh tyres for sub £600 where's the queue cause i'l get on the back of itgreg81 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 14, 2018 6:09 pmmr wilks wrote: ↑Sun Jan 14, 2018 5:51 pmReally on a limited budget & wanting 224s ive seen a fair few sets pass through these pages & doubt you will better these for £600 ready to roll & a good few years left in them .Phoenixboy wrote: ↑Sun Jan 14, 2018 5:32 pmThanks for the offer Jameshan12, but am going to pass on those thanks.

Absolutely, OP isn't going to do much better for their budget, but when they state they're looking for decent tyres along with the wheels it's a fair reason to assume this is why they've turned down the very good offer of £600.mr wilks wrote: ↑Sun Jan 14, 2018 7:47 pm" If your wants are to high for means to supply then alter your wants " was my grandma's advice op has mentioned a budget of £500 & a desire for a set of 224s if sets of 224s are being sold in good condition with fresh tyres for sub £600 where's the queue cause i'l get on the back of it
They'll be waiting a while for sure.
Let's not pollute OPs thread any further. I'm not in the business of upsetting people by commenting on their wares with an opinion so if that's what I've done feel free to drop me a message and we can discuss deleting these messages

Greg81,no worries,always up for the banter.
Yes, am possibly expecting a lot, but I’m in no rush as I’ve said previously.
Yes the age of the tyres is a consideration,but ultimately it’s the first set that have been available since I made my decision, so feel no urgency to jump in.
They are nice wheels, but not so rare that another set are unlikely to become available.
If my budget proves to be unrealistic, then I will either change to another style or save more pennies and up my budget.
Happy days
