Never noticed they were a P spoke before. I quite like them now! Pity they won't fit the Rado!

i reckon they may look better in the flesh, wonder what the sellers story is ?, not sure on the motorsport excuse looking at his previously sold booty !!

....I'm not sure about the motorsport reason either. Would someone really want to convert a Pirelli Special Edition for racing? The Pirelli GTI would either drop a lot of value or be much more difficult to sell without its special edition alloys - The Pirelli Edition more so than an Ed30.

Despite being damaged when taken off, those rims have done less than 35 miles (apparently) and are scratched to fook :sick:

I definitely would have been tempted at that price if they were mint. Unfortunately they look like they have done 15 rounds Mike Tyson's kerb outside his house :lipsrsealed:

Good read, his lack of ability to speak in the past tense had me enthralled throughout!  :grin:

As for the rims, they are ok but im not a big fan. And that damaged after 35 miles! They was a terrible driver!  :laugh:

Yeh does look rather strange! The english language is obviously not his strength! :grin:

I'll certainly be taking better care of mine! I can understand some people not liking the wheels! When I first saw them, along with the seats, i was a sceptic! But when they 'clicked' in my mind i now love em!

I quite like them but for £800 and 35 miles I want perfect

They got damaged when removing them, he dropped them. Bit of a stupid thing to do.

Not a fan of those rims personally and I wouldn't touch them unless mint :undecided:

Wonder if a Pirelli Edition is now standing on bricks somewhere :shocked:

They actually arn't that good in the flesh.  I was having a trunk over a Pirelli in my local stealers last week, and just thought the whole car was a bit of disapointment compared to either the Ed30 or the original Pirelli.  Add to that the fact I fcukin hate Pirelli tyres, and I suppose it didn't stand a chance!

wonder what the sellers story is ?, not sure on the motorsport excuse looking at his previously sold booty !!

Agreed.  If the seller were a motorsport company, they'd be VAT registered, and want to put it all through their books, rather than cash-in-hand!

No, they SHOULD be putting it through their books, I highly doubt they WANT to which might be whats going on here ?

I reckon there's a pirelli in brum minus it's tyres an alloys

....My thoughts too! Damaged while removing in somewhat of a hurry! Just a gut feeling. It simply doesn't stand up to reason. Even if you did mod a Pirelli Edition for "motorsport" you'd keep the original special alloys to sell with the car later.

More likely to be recieving stolen goods and then selling on FleaBay than being the thieving scum themselves.

So how do these people get the wheels off without the locking wheel nut? Surely the point of the wheel nut is to stop people from taking off your wheels?!    Im scared now!

How can you not see that P effect? :undecided:

I think I'll be going aftermarket for my new rims, probably stay with 18"s though.
