Got to be more than 46 of them left at the moment. As for the wheels have a good look around the forum's. I found mine on Edition 38 which had just been refurbed and powder coated for £200 quid. Absolute steal as they are the original Anni wheels and not the reps. There were a few sets on Edition at the time.

I still don't see how you get to 46 when I can see 302 left according to the site. If it is 46 then I am getting even happier with mine :grin: :grin:

i've got a set of anni wheels sitting in my mums garage. Tyres are shot and wheels need a refurb but should sell them really. How much would i get in current condition or should i refurb first for a bigger reward??
-
Ok that link says 43 remaining that were registered in 1997 but also 277 remaining which were registered in 1996.
:rolleyes:
Think these are the numbers for the 8v too. Is that what yours is?

Depends how much it is going to cost to refurbish them but I reckon prob better off selling as they are.
-
The 8v Anni was never registered or produced in 1997 so that is strange. The Anni is a product of 1996 !!!!!
As for your wheels Bud....in current condition they would sell for around the 150 mark if they are original Anni wheels. However, if you had them refurbed they are fetching aroind the 400/450 mark on Edition 38. I had a real steal at 200 for mine !!!!!

£200 does seem like a bargain to me mate for a refurbed set. Was that wheels only?
-
Must be loads more than 46 left, 16v Anni's are rare however

Yes was wheels only Mate but due to contacts tyres cost me 90 quid.
-
Bargain I paid about £300 for 4 tyres cos apparently 215/40/16 are an unusual size so not very cheap.

I scraped a flash red one that was rotted thru! 8valve!

I am running 205 45 16's and it's great handling. I believe the original wheels are a must on Anni's. It's like the heart of the car and the most valuable part of an Anni which is why sadly quite a few get changed :cry:
-
So are original anni bbs not split rims then?
-
Ive got an 8v anni in red. Love it got a set of original wheels for £200
Refurbed them but leavin them off for the winter
They are a 2 piece split rim buddy
-

Yep....original Anni split rim BBS's recently refurbed and powder coated. There's a set not long come onto Edition 38 in the same condition with tyres for £450 so I am very happy to have got these original wheels for such a good price but there are also a set on the Bay for £50 with just over a day to go :wink:

I got mine with some crappy looking 17" RS8 replicas, tracked down a set of refurbed BBS's with tires for £250. Couldn't believe the difference in handling between the 17s which rubbed like hell too, and the correct offset 16s... Was like a different car overnight.
Be careful what kind of refurb is done, to be honest mine weren't refurbed to a super high standard, and I've a feeling I'll be forking out again for another refurb...
-
I wish people would stop calling BBS RXIIs split rims - they are not.
They are 2 piece.
The rim is NOT split like on an BBS RS, the rim is one piece, the centre another.
I've re-furbed 6 sets of RXIIs in the past (still own 4 sets of 7" wide Anni RXIIs) and they can cost you £350-400 to refurb properly yourself...so paying £500-600 for a good, straight, properly re-furbed set is a pretty good price.
Anything less is a bargain in my eyes.

Been looking for quotes to get mine done by reputable companies, and some companies don't even want to touch them. Been advised about snapped bolts and a removal fee of £5 per bolt broken and knowing my luck every bolt on every wheel will break.
Found this for the benefit of anyone else as they look pretty good:

I'd need to get another set of wheels and tyres as I can't have the car off road as its my daily so I might as well buy a full set outright! Quite hard to find RXII's so people here seem to have found some good bargains :)

I've had two of my wheels fully refurbished recently for £200 which included removing tyres and refitting and balancing. I left my car with them and it was completed in one day. I thought this was a lot of money and I am sure people will say I have been ripped off and could of got them done for a fraction of the cost but they have been done to a high standard and will be getting the other two done in the future.
Unfortunately I have kerbed one of them already tho. :cry:
