get12 Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 or should I say ended up in the Stealers hands with a damn good car Hi, I have a set of Volks Rays CE28N 19X10.5 +22 5-114.3 (9.5 fronts) Formula Silver Limited Edition one piece forged alloy wheels with Falken tires (6mm tread) for sale for £1500. One wheel has kerbing but not too deep and will polish out nicely. The other rear will has 1cm worth of kerbing on it but again not noticeable and will polish out. Alternatively, I am looking to return car to stock before it is traded in, so will require a set of OEM Rays to replace the Volks, so if someone wants to swap their Rays for these wheels I am willing to do this if: a) You take my wheels 'sold as seen' i.e. you sort out the polishing of the kerbing on the wheel in question your wheels are in similiar nick to mine c) There is 5-6mm of tread left on each boot d) We exchange Wednesday/Thursday 16th/17th December at latest e) you pay me £1000 pounds This is a massive deal - forget about your mum's xmas present - treat yourself - you're worth it (tell yourself) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stew Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 quite a strict requirements i thinks. It's a great deal. Even putting new tyres on a set of Rays it'd still be a good deal. If you want the wheels you'd meet the requirements, I honestly don't think they are bad at all..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simples its a great deal, i would have had them and at that price i thought it was an extremely fair deal. but i've just had to pay a load of bills and i just don't have the cash, i couldn't even stick them on the credti card as their isn't enough left on it. £1000 for a set of volks with 6mm tread all round is a bargain.

get12 Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 quite a strict requirements i thinks. I was given a trade in value for the car which included the Volks wheels - the least I can do is replace them with like-for-like OEM Rays as far as wear/tear/tread is concerned otherwise it could cause problems if I swap over tires/wheels worth £2800 for a set of minging Rays that has seen more kerb than tarmac and running barely legal tires donncha fink? It does not matter now anyhow - I pick up my new car tomorrow - could not wait 'till Thursday which means the z goes with the Volks - shame - someone could have picked up a hell of a bargain but then it is xmas and luxuries like this are not top of most people's xmas list - I knew this was a long-shot right from the beginning and I was not relying on selling them. Thankfully, I bought one of the last Zs in the country and the discount I got reflected that so I have not taken much of a hit overall as far as depreciation and trade-in price is concerned. Im going to miss the Z, I have been lucky (or just plain stupid with my money ) to have owned all 3 variants of the 350z, and I love the car. I have never been tempted with the 370z, although I like the looks, it just did not solve the two main niggles I had with the 350z - road noise and practicality. Although the former can be addressed and the latter Nissan tried to address, im just fed up with having to plan shopping trips - will what I have bought fit in the car - a bit of a pain especially around this time of year? All the zs have been sound as a pound - never had to go back to the Stealer with warranty issues. Nothing has broken. I love the decisive, solid gear shifting. I love the exhaust note - I wind down my window to listen to that sometimes - but not when it's raining - another niggle I have modified the car mechanically, and it has stood up to what I have thrown in it - Nismo clutches/lightweight flywheels, Nismo exhaust and de-cats - that last car was awesome I have driven it at times like it was made to be driven, and has every reason to hold it's head up high against some of the cars that it has been against that are considered 'better' or 'faster' by some people. All-in-all - a class act. I dont see the S3 Sortback getting the ame looks by pedestrians as I pass by like I did with the z. But is is a quality piece of automotive engineering - the s-tronic gearbox is awesome and the ride is planted, and I know it will give me the praticality i need plus every now-and-then a thrill driving down some B-road. An end of an era me thinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Whats wrong with people? My Volks cost me £1850 plus £600 for tyres = £2450. So if someone wants a set nowadays, they sell their RAYS for what, £450? £500? They would still have to find another £2000. Get12 only wants £1000........................How can people not see that this is a great deal?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get12 only wants £1000........................How can people not see that this is a great deal?? More than that. The price of Volks went up a few months ago. I priced up a set of 19s ready for my R34 & it was gonna be £2700 before tyres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunset350z Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 A bit more notice may off helped, but it is a bad time to try and sell so close to xmas. Then again, would make a great xmas present for some lucky soul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhavin85 Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I think it was the short time that meant these didnt sell...however if you got a set of Ray's then put these aside till after christmas I recon youll easily get what your looking for plus you'd keep the wheels in the forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
