18" BSA madea split rims. Had them refurbed gloss black at a cost of 360quid.
Have 4 new tyres on. 2 have done a few hundred miles max.
99% perfect condition. I can only see 1 very small stone chip.

I had these refurbed properly, as in splitting the rims and effectively having 8 wheels done.

So I spent 700quid on paint and tyres. That dosnt include the wheels.

Will get some better close up pics in a day or so.
After 580ono
Thanks



The last pic may look a bit odd as it has water droplets on it, and u can see the reflection of the block paving.
They were refurbed August 11, and taken off in oct/nov when the roads where started to be gritted and never refitted
Cheers

Cheap wheels considering the tyres would cost half of that. Haven't you also changed to 225/40R18 size? So tyres will be cheaper to replace for buyer.

Are those pics with it lowered yeh?

No car wasn't lowered in that pic.
And I changed the tyres to 225/40/18.
I did it for 2 reasons 1 there cheaper and more choice and 2nd there are a little wider so it would protect the rims abit more from those dreaded kurbs. Luckilie it never got near them.
I also changed to 40 instead of 45 as to make sure they clear the arches.
And all 4 are nearly new.
There still in storage but will get them out for pics soon.
The only other thing I was going to do was buy black nuts. But that's my preference

Hi, I am interested in these wheels and have cash in hand waiting.

A few questions first though:

2 x Falken tyres you mentioned, What model are they? FK452s? What thread depth left?

2 x other wheels, what make and model are they? What thread depth left?

Can you provide pics of wheels where I can see make, model and thread depth please?

Thanks

Yes 2 are the falken FK452.
I'll find out what the other 2 are and like I say I'll get pics as soon as I can get to my dads and take some.
I have said a few times all 4 tyres are nearly new. So the tread would be nearly new.
I'll hopefully get to my dads at the weekend for some more pics.
Thanks
Graham
