Title: 18" Charleston Sources
Post by: rdfcpete on August 04, 2009, 07:21:03 pm

Guys,

Where am I best off getting a brand new set of 18" Charleston alloy wheels?

They seem to be rare on the forums for second hand sale and ebay doesn't seem to have any very often at all.
I would imagine they are silly money from the dealers?

Thanks,
Pete.

My brother has them on his GT mate. Lovely wheel, but his missus has kerbed one and I'm sure our local dealer quoted over £400 per wheel.  :surprised:

Good luck finding a set though! :happy2: they are like hobby horse poo!!! :wink:

you'll be waiting a while! these are lovely wheels, but you'll be looking at over 1.5k without tyres new from the dealer

Indeed Jay, hence second user will do me fine  :smiley:

How much do they weigh a wheel?
