The search for lightweight alloys
tony_danza:
These have got to be worth a look, depending on offset. As they're Merc, they're usually pretty high though.

Thinking on...
What's a set of mint BBS Monza IIs without tyres worth these days?? - I might fancy in on this Pro Race1.2/R888s lark too.
Top Cat:
I would say 600. minimum, if they are mint. Mine sold for £850 with nearly new exalto's in ten minutes and i am still getting 2 or 3 enquiries a week. So that tells me they may have been slightly underpriced. :smiley:
Hurdy:
The seller is Billy boy tyres and are just down the road from me.
The price is for 7.5 x 17 alloys and they already have 25% off the normal price.
I would be going for these with a 45 offset. This would shove the tyres out 6mm more than stock. These weigh 8.2kg

They also have the 8 x 17 alloys with a 45 offset which would stick out 12.5mm more than stock. These weigh 9kg

I didn't realise he had an ebay shop until last night :ashamed: :rolleye:
It is beginning to sound a bit like two group buys....
one for the alloys at BBT
and
one for the Toyo R888's from camskill.
I also enquired about the price of the 225/40/18 R888's and these are £155.45 each including delivery (£157.50 if you only want one delivered)
8)
Top Cat:
I am at work at the minute John so cant really view anything, can we get anything off, if there is a small group buy. And did you say your tarox fit behind the standard 17in wheel. :smiley:
