Hi Guys,

 

Thought I'd pop these on here, before sticking them on eBay, just in case anybody is after a cheap set of spare wheels.

 

Firstly, I am unsure of the make but they are Advan Racing AVS Model 5 copies. I'm sure the centre caps had something like spec-vav on them but I don't know the manufacturer.

 

Secondly, one of them has a small crack on the edge of the rim. Hence the reason they are now spare. They definitely need a refurb. The curbing on them isn't that bad but my friend had a go at sorting the worst bits with some metal filler and it's not the best of jobs. However, they were sprayed with plasti dip afterwards, so you could barely notice.

 

The plasti dip was only applied in a few layers, as I wanted to see if the colour choice was right. So this means it has mostly come off all the wheels now. I'll give them a good scrub though to get the remainder off.

 

So, onto the photos:

How they looked after being plasti dipped:

How they looked normally:

Not the best of photos I know, just haven't had time to take some good ones. Can take more on request.

 

I was quoted £50 to weld the crack. So these could be a cheap spare set for winter etc.

 

Looking for £60, just to recoup the cost of switching the tyres onto my new wheels.

 

Many thanks

Ga
