Wheel swap

[Snooze]

I have a set of 18" Austin alloy wheels on my brand new Gti and wondered if anyone would be interested in a swap for either some 18" Nogaro alloys or some 19" alloys?

Not feeling the Austin love Snooze?  What about some aftermarket wheels like the lovely Rotary's, á la wigit's mrs' car?

No, I never did really like them. That's quite ironic, I asked the stealer if I could swap my Austins for Rotarys, but I would have had to pay another £1080 plus tyres to do so!

What makes it worse is that 2 mates at work have gtd's and their Nogaros look awesome compared to my Austins. Unfortunately I'm gonna have to make do as buying the new car has completely cleaned me out!

The Rotarys are very (relatively - makes no odds if the car has already cleaned you out) cheap somewhere -less than £500 a set, and figure in about £90 a tyre if you shop around. Might be worth putting an ad in the classifieds. Sell the Austins, buy the Rotarys.

I think I may just do that! Cheers MH. A set of black Rotarys would look absolutely stunning on my CSG Gti.

Snooze, the standard colour of the Rotary's is anthracite grey, rather than black. I've got them on my CSG mk6 GTD and I love them; much nicer than the diamond cut alloys it came with as standard.

I'm currently halfway through machine polishing my car, and when I've finished, I'll post some pictures in the Detailing section, so you can see what the CSG and anthracite Rotary's combination looks like.

They come in black too. Did you sell your Nogaros?

Ah nice one, yeah I'd love to see some pictures. Cheers

How much do you reckon I could ask for 4 brand new 18" Austin alloy wheels on Bridgestone tyres. They have covered just 150 miles so far!

I'd see what the average price is on ebay for them and knock 10% off (ebay fees) if selling through the forum. If they're priced right then they will sell.

You might want to try some of the more generic forums too.

Here you might sell yours to someone who wants a spare set, or sell one at a time to people that have wrecked one.

Over on a normal Golf forum you'll likely get some interest from someone in a non-performance Golf  who wants GTI wheels. I presume this car is wholly yours to sell? If not, giving it back at the end of a PCP rather than going the p/x route might be a no-go. P/xing might see you get less money without the right wheels.
