Smile 18'' Medusa Alloys

Hi all,

I keep missing out on them in the sales section. If anyone has 4 x 18'' Medusa Alloys in any condition could you PM me or send me a public message on my profile.

Really want a set now and have missed out on two......

My fault really for not checking everyday.

I would appreciate anyone who could also point me in the right direction to source them apart from this website.

I keep checking ebay althought they go really quickly. Otherwise you could speak to these guys:

http://www.pxalloys.com/wheels/wheel.php?id=437&type=d

Might be placing an order there myself as the set i'm collecting on monday has one dead wheel but hoping work mechanics can work some magic

I have 4 wheels with no scuffing and they are even now finer than when new. They were refurbished by ChipsAway.

These wheels can be very difficult to get in a good state if already used. So you will make a good deal if you make me a good offer to me.


Remember you don't have to refurbish - it’s already done! Refurbishing a wheel will cost you £50 - £60 per wheel. Therefore, you will be saving yourself £200.

A set of scuffed wheels will usually go for £350 - £375.

Just a little warning about PXWheels.

I used them to replace my old Medusa alloys under their exchange service but the "refurbished" ones they sent me were absolutely sh!t, they looked as though the guy that sprayed them had someone next to him grinding some old rusty piece of metal and all the filings were going all over the wheels and the finish was appalling. When I complained and returned them the owner got very abusive and I had to fight to get a complete refund from him.

Of course it's up to you but definitely a case of buyer beware!!!!

Thanks Lee, it's very much a last resort anyway not least cos I don't want to be paying nearly double for one than I'm paying for 3!

Would you consider splitting the set?
