3 *rear* elipsoids for sale - so 18" by 8 by 8.5".
History of these wheels for full disclosure:
2 of them came with my car, they had clearly been refurbished in the not too distant past as the faces were in good condition. However, my car failed the MOT with 2 'dangerous' entries because they both have cracks. My local garage are a bit melodramatic and said they're basically no good, but having checked them myself 1 has what looks like any old standard crack which can be weld repaired, the other has 2 previous not particularly tidy weld repairs and one of them has again cracked - so I'd suggest both previous repairs be re-done if possible.
I then picked up 3 2nd hand wheels off Ebay - 2 of them were refurbished and are now on my car, the other one was deemed to be the worse of the trio due to being mishapen (also the balancing is off, again because of the shape) so was left.
I also note the garage hasn't been particularly gentle when swapping over the run flats from the 2 cracked wheels onto my newly refurbed wheels as the previously 'pretty good' condition wheels now have some more marks on them.
Clear as mud?
Summary:
One rear wheel, fairly good cosmetic condition, 1 crack.
One rear wheel, fairly good cosmetic condition, 1 crack on a previous clumsy weld, 1 other similarly clumsy weld.
One rear wheel, worse condition than the other 2, no cracks but out of shape.
Collection South Bristol/Bath area BS39 - I'm often up in Birmingham/Derby area mid week so could potentially meet somewhere in between.
£100?
