Title: Can someone give me some info on these alloys, please?
Post by: GemGTI on 15 May 2005, 18:51: Hi, IÃƒâ€šÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ve got four of these and I was just wondering if anyones got any info about them? I think theyÃƒâ€šÃ¢â‚¬â„¢re Pirelli P slots, but thatÃƒâ€šÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s all I know. Also does anyone have a clue how much theyÃƒâ€šÃ¢â‚¬â„¢re worth?

Cheers

Post by: *Dubby* on 15 May 2005, 18:55: yep, they are Pslots.

Quite common, and in that condition, with no centre caps, probably not worth too much tbh :undecided:

Strip and polish them....you know u want to :evil:

Post by: GemGTI on 17 June 2005, 16:38: Hi, I've just measured mine and they are 15", I've been told that these are very rare and will fetch more as the 14" ones are common. Anybody know?

Also just to make sure I have measured them correctly is this how you dod it (below)?

Also, how do I measure the width of them? Like this (below)? rim to rim

Post by: Mart8V on 17 June 2005, 18:09: If you look inside the hub there should be (under all the paint!) a VW part number and the wheel size 6.5Jx15 for example. That gives you the dimensions that you need for tyre choice. You're right. The 15" are rarer, but not sure of value.

Get them stripped and polished. Will look the dog's. :grin:

The 15's will fetch better money, but they would fetch a lot more if in good condition

Post by: hc-animal on 01 August 2005, 18:02: you need to measure them on the inside edge of the rim on both dimensions so they are probably only standard 6 x 14. i bought a set with centre caps and resonable tyres for 80 quid!
