224 alloys good tyres may need refurb £140

Post by Usel » Sat May 27, 2023 7:01 am

Spotted these 224's in black on Facebook for sale in Manchester.

Tyres have 6mm tread but its hard to tell if the wheels are desperate for a refurb. They may clean up well but for only £140 there's definitely room for getting the wheels powdered coated and them still being a cheap set of wheels.

Would it work if you didn't have your car lowered?

Diameter of the tyre at the front is 22.5mm bigger, so your car would ride 11mm higher and have 11mm less wheel arch clearance. The offset is slightly more aggressive (5mm more poke), but should be OK.

Diameter of the tyre is 25.5mm bigger at the rear, so your car would ride 13mm higher and have 13mm less wheel arch clearance. The offset is much more aggressive (20mm more poke). If there is a problem, this is where it will be.

Good luck - they're a steal at that price!

I paid more than twice that for my set that needed a refurb and tyres. :roll:

£140! He clearly does not know what he has or is desperate?

I've heard from a forum member these have been relisted. Pretty sure it is a scam. I sent a £50.00 deposit and agreed collection yesterday. When I asked for the house number I got the below and he disappeared from the chat. My bank have been able to get my money back thankfully.

Jeez! Another one!
Has to be worth asking on the forum if another member can collect and pay cash on collection if there are any doubts like this.

Always happy to help if I can.

If the forum helped you, why not help the forum back. Thats the Z4 way! :thumbsup:
