Finally made up my mind, these three spokes are staying on the car!

They fill the arches out really nicely and are only just heavier than the standard wheels and tyres.

That means folks, that the other set of wheels and tyres I have are up for grabs

Not sure how Im gonna do it. Might put them on Ebay as they are multi fit, but I would rather they go onto a 107!

Anyone want to me make me a sensible offer for them? They are Ripspeed 7x15 with 205/50/15 tyres that have only covered about 3000 miles from new. The tyres have rim protection beads to stop the alloys getting kerbed. Hence the rims are untouched.



The wheels above are the ones im selling

the ones below im keeping

Daz, some pics of the rim protection beads. They usually add about £5-10 to the price of your tyres, but its a good investment, think of the price of a new wheel!


You can clearly see the bead running around the tyre just outside the wheel rim. It is a steel ring covered in rubber to protect the edge of the rim. Most tyre manufacturers are now doing them.

i wish i had them

looks like you have to me - thats what the rubber band is !

ooopps!

Yep you do have them Dixon, but even they can't protect you from a fast impact at an acute angle. Do you think the wheel was hurting as much as your wallet will when you have to replace or repair the damage?
The wider the tyre by the way, the less chance of damaging your rims. Narrower wheels and wider tyres, works wonders!
