fruity_south Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 i am after getting rid of these rims. see my garage for a pic of them. they are 18's with some curbed marks ect on them, and could do with a refurb which i have been quoted £320 including splitting and sandblasting, the full works. i just cant be bothered to do it. these rims are not easy to find anywhere i once did and they were £3000 for the set plus import ect. i am after a swap for some 18's in black or charcol grey, not even bothered if they are no where near as expensive as these. just some decent looking ones. i will have a look at the sizes ect on my lunch. cheers SOLD!!!

fruity_south Posted October 31, 2008 Author Share Posted October 31, 2008 sensible offers will be considered but will leave me wheeless between getting the money and the new ones. unless people are willing to pay for them, i use the money for the new ones and then send the trd ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
probrox Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Can I ask where you were quoted £320 for the refurb? Hoping to get mine done over the winter but couldn't find anywhere local who would refurb split rims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fruity_south Posted October 31, 2008 Author Share Posted October 31, 2008 paint it uk, would of been £100 less if i had them do it without splitting the rims up. google it, its in chelmsford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fruity_south Posted October 31, 2008 Author Share Posted October 31, 2008 i dont think there turn around time would be quick enoguh for me as i need my car every day, and paint it uk, who gave me the quote could do it over a long weekend, which would be great for when i take a long weekend off of work. here are some pics, took ones of tyre sizes aswell, just uploaded all of them cos dont have time to sort them out which ones are readable and which arnt. also sorry the wheels are so dirty but thats because i havnt the time to clean them right now, off out to casino to celebrate birthday. rear front ( ashamed of how dirty they are) rear size front size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaijin Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 [sHOCK][/sHOCK]You're lucky mate.I have split rims on my car.Been quoted Around £150 EACH to do mine;they are serious too.Talk about havin' a laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fruity_south Posted October 31, 2008 Author Share Posted October 31, 2008 ouch, i would well recomend paint it uk, in chelmsford, dont know how far it is for you though, thats who i was taking these too if i cant find a buyer or swapper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaijin Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 A wee bit far.Live in N Ireland.Thats the thing here;if you want something done its a captive audience,so some places charge what they want.Lack of competition.In the end i am where you are.Its easier to buy new rims than to to go to the hassle and expense of £600 just for a refurb.Can't justify it to myself.Good luck with your own (sharp looking)wheels.Hope i'm not puttind a scud(curse) on my car by talking about new rims.Every time i think of doing something because i want to,my car takes a wobbler and blows something!Supra,Supra why do i love thee.[sAD][/sAD] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Garfy Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 I refurbed my old split rims myself, well, sort of myself, basically I took them apart myself, then sent the centres off to be powdercoated, and had the rims polished and re anodised, you will probably find that those rims are clear anodised, make sure the refurb company are going to do that.

fruity_south Posted November 3, 2008 Author Share Posted November 3, 2008 seeing as a lot of you have asked me to put a price on these i would be asking for 680-700 for them. i think thats damn cheap for these as they are not easy to find or cheap. if you include the cost of a refurb on them your looking at just under the price of what you can get just one of these wheels new, if you can find one. the only problem with a sale is id hve to get my new ones with the money first and then send them straight out when the new ones arrive, i know some are ok with that. sorry but cant drive around to work and that with no wheels on.
