Default Wheels!.....

Hey all,

Starting to look at the cosmetic improvements I can make to the S70, and the obvious one is wheels. The car is currently on standard 15" 5-spoke alloys - these are in relatively good condition, but look too small for the car!

I would really like a set of decent 16" rims, so wondered if any of you good people had a set of the following for sale:

Matres;
Perfos;
Heras;
Mimas;

I would also consider 17", however decent Pegasus and Canistos are probably outwith my current budget!

Thanks in advance

I have a set of 5 Perfos I don't need...

4 of them could do with a repaint as they're a bit scabby, the 5th has been a spare from new.

All 5 had matched tyres fitted at the same time, Goodyear EfficientGrip from memory.

The 2 fronts are worn out, the 2 rears have loads of tread left and the spare is new, so you could repaint, and buy 1 new goodyear and you would have a smart set!

Paisley freight want £45 to send the set up to you. How does £160 all in sound? I can send you some photos.

Morning,

I may be tempted.... please pm a couple pics, and I'll let you know. I note you're also letting some front fog lights go, how much would you take for these (again posted)?

Thanks again

Hopefully these are clear enough! The spare is still under the boot floor, but is much better than these...

Oops, those first 2 pics are the same wheel with and without flash...

This is the 4th (and worst)

Now all sorted - set of 17" 5-spokes now procured.

Thanks for all the responses.
