hi all hope everyone's xmas was a blast, anyhows santa's sleigh was weighted this year with a set of new detriots and my name was lucky enough to be on them, my dilema now is do I sell the pescaras or do I keep for resale??? any ideas how much they would be worth?? three are in excellent condition the other has a slight minor mark which could easily be repaired.

You've got to ask yourself whether they will ever go on the car again, if not you may as well sell them. I imagine they would bring about £900 with tyres.

Think that might be a bit optimistic Tom, if not mine are available with no damage what so ever with 100 miles use for a grand :wink:
-
I only want one alloy - to go in the boot to replace the :sick: :sick: :sick: emergency skinny tyre.
Group of 4 buy anyone??? :undecided:
It will go in there with my boot ICE install (if I ever get round to finishing it :embarassed:)
-
Sell them to me for my caddy van :wink:
-
I would be interested at the right price!
-

count me in Hurdy , I will go in for a single wheel/tyre (ummarked) as a backup one.
Although we'd need to agree a price + thats also dependent slightly on the type of tyre/tread left fitted :rolleyes:
and the prcie will have to be right lol

That's two out of four - anyone else want a "proper" spare?
-
Would a proper spare fit in the boot well?
-
Sounds like there is an interest in the pescaras and am willing to sell individually. As everyone seems to be saying "at the right price" and maybe going in as a group can I suggest you make me a serious offer. Unfortunately santa didn't include tyres and so they come as wheels only. Obviously the one which has minor damage will be at a reduced rate, although I am happy to keep myself as a spare instead of the space saver.
-
I will take one unmarked wheel from you!
Cheers John

Yes and no!
Diameter-wise it will fit, but depth-wise the alloy will stand proud slightly. This is why I will use it in conjunction with a boot install :cool:
I thought Jer had tyres with the alloys, but I'm sure we could work something out :smiley:
So that would be :-
Me (Hurdy)
John (hufcforpromotion)
john_o
One unmarked alloy each
Maybe jer keep one himself as a proper spare.
I'll PM others to see what they are willing to buy at - OK jer?
-
sounds good,ill keep marked one no prob.
-
dont mean to sound stupid but wont the prescara's weigh more that the spare? doubt it would make much difference in performance though :smiley:

With what I have planned for the boot, the extra weight of the spare is the least of my worries. I'm more concerned about the sub, sub box, mdf and fibreglass :undecided:
-
aha well hurdy its a sacrifice that you will not be disapointed with.....although... ive always had subs and amps in my cars and this is the first car that i havnt got one in, and to be honest i dont really miss it.
if you are not on a price budget then may I recomend for your sub an alpine type X, they are carbon fiber and are alot lighter than normal alpine subs and also alot louder, i think they go up to around 3000w. :rolleyes:
