New Alloys - What a bargain!!

Recommended Posts

Just bought the following alloy wheels in mint condition!

 

Axe AP41

Rears (9J) - 265/30/19

Fronts (8J) - 235/35/19

Stud pattern - 114.3 x 5

Offset - 35ET

 

All fitted with Kuhmo K104 tyres and only covered 100 miles!!

 

Also invoice showing almost £1500.

 

I have a pair of 30mm spacers so will just need another set (would 30mm be the right size?)

 

I paid......................£400 including tyres!!!!

 

The tyres are worth that alone

 

Spokes maybe a bit too big but for that price, cant go wrong!

 

If they look rubbish or dont fit welll then I will sell them for more $$$

Really dont think they'll suit the zed at all.

 

I'm not so sure that they were a bargain tbh mate.

 

Look very heavy and will probs ruin the feel of the car. You will also have severe traction control problems with those sizes.

 

Dont mean to pee on ur day. Personally I don't like them and think you will struggle to sell them on for more, especially on here. Personally I'd have went for a set of rays oem wheels

£400 with new tyres is not a bargain???

 

What do they weigh, what make are they... :)

 

 

Not sure on the weight tbh, will weigh them when they arrive. They are manufactured by Axe - just under £1000 new (without tyres)

Was looking at a set of 18" rays but they are not much cheaper with well used tyres, plus 18" stilll look too small!

 

Will see what they look like when they arrive, cant be worse than a set of standard 17" wheels. Plus they different!

Yeah but the 18" rays are proper lightweight forged alloys and wont destroy the handling and feel of the car. Unsprung weight is a major issue in a car and heavy wheels are the main contributor.

Fair play to you buying and I hope it goes well. I just think that you may find that they arent as much of a bargain as you first thought.

Hurl.

 

Bad dinner?

 

:lol:

 

Personally don't like them and tyres are, well, not exactly the best.

 

End of the day if you like them that's what counts.

 

Nope had an awesome curry. :D

 

I'm just struggling to see what makes these a bargain?

 

The nearly new tyres are fantastic. But completely the wrong size. The TC light is going to be flickering like christmas tree lights. Not much of a bargain when you have to buy a new set of 19 inch tyres in the correct sizes.

 

They don't look nice (imo) and probably weigh a tonne.

I too think you guys are harsh, I mean yes they are a disgusting blight on a beautiful car but there is no need to rub the poor guys misfortune in his face :console:

 

Classic SMD!

 

Shite mate but good on you for trying something different.

 

If its any consolation the dog looks cool

Harsh is subjective.

 

What is objective is that the tyres will need replacing with the correct sized tyres.

 

Not so much of a bargain then.

 

Thats all.

 

 

The fact that they offend my retina's is by the by :)

Yawn.

 

really? Do you not think for 400 quid rays would have been the better choice aesthetically and mechanically?

 

Oh absolutely, especially mechanically. But the aesthetics is just a matter opinion and if he likes these then good for him for being different.

 

However, as you have said, the tyre sizes might cause some problems though.
