Title: Wolfrace Alloys Value
Post by: tigerj360 on 20 July 2010, 23:28

Hi guys

Could do with a bit of help, when i brought my car it came with a set of 17" wolfrace 5 spoke alloys, i can imagine there sweet when in good nik, unfortunatly the previous owner has messed them up :( also they have corroded badly around the chrome edges.

Now the thing is when i brought the car the guy said i could sell them for £400 as people look for these to refurbish and sell on, i was wondering if you guys could give me a valuation on them/ want to buy them as i want to sell them and buy a new set that match my car/taste more  :smiley:

any help would be brill cheers

Jon

P.S. pics to come

Not worth anywhere near £400, you will be lucky to see half that.

how exactly would you go about getting rid of the damage? My alloys are a bit like that, I neglected them a bit last year during the snow etc and now they look a bit worse for wear

Good idea to offload the Wolfrace rims, Extremely chavvy !!

In all honesty i would be surprised if you took a tonne for em, Especially in that condition!

They are called wolfrace europe octains.
I had a set on my R5 GTT.
I refurbed mine & the centres where the same colour as the car!
They looked badass ;)
